The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 05, 2021

The local dentist keeps passing out hard candy…..

Gladys, give him $ 5 directly: is better than to spend 100 times as much at the dentist.

There’s got to be a better way to make money.

The tooth fairy leaves money to children that lose a tooth naturally.

I wonder if Veeblefester started this way.

you’re gonna regret it.

The realization of how stupid his idea to make a few bucks will be immediate. Doubt he will do it a second time.

Here, take these pliers, genius!

You probably don’t have any crowns yet, kid. Unlikely you’ll break a healthy tooth on hard candy without a lot of pain.

Doesn’t count if it breaks; only if it fall out on its own. Sorry. Nice try though…….

I’m sure Sir Laurence Olivier will help you out… (“Is it safe?”) ☺

You just tipped off the tooth fairy to your insidious plan.

Brutus and Gladys need to keep Wilberforce away from Hattie. She’s a bad influence on their weak minded son.

This made me smile ;-)

From “Uncle Shelby’s ABZ Book” from 1961 ( a very twisted book!):

“ W is for wish! Do you want to get your wish? When your tooth falls out, put it under your pillow, and in the morning the tooth will be gone and you will have a shiny new dime. Now you have 10 cents. How can you get $3.20?”

That would be a visit to the dentist afterwards
