The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 03, 2022

Aw, Brutus! At least you don’t have your own personal little black cloud just over your head. What was that little fella’s name?

Raindrops keep fallin’ on his head.

Fantozzi’s Syndrome (you can search on You Tube “la nuvola di Fantozzi”).

Odd. He doesn’t look like Weirdly or Creepella.

Or “Mother” Gargoyle’s head.

Joe Btfsplk

No silver lining for miseable ol’ Bruty, eh?

Way to go! How to destroy your little boy’s imagination and wonder of the world in 10 seconds flat. I sure hope not that many fathers are like this!

That’s why he’s “The Born Loser”.

Maybe he’s the rain god Douglas Adams wrote about.

It is one thing watching rain clouds form. It is another when you feel a static charge making your hair stand straight up while using golf clubs.

Sorta like Pigpen in Peanuts

is your life that depressing that they even follow you indoors… man, he really is a born loser. :}

Related to Joe Btfsplk – from Li’l Abner?? lol

So, our Brutus is a rain maker. Wherever he goes, there’s rain. There are folks out west that could really use him. He could charge per rain storm. All he’d need was rain gear and a big bank account.

I too immediately thought of Al Capp’s wonderful Joe Btfsplk

It’s coming a Mother Gargle storm…

Good ole’ Brutus Thornapple, to him the glass is neither half full or half empty, because poor ole’ Brutus can’t even find the glass.

Alligator lizards in the air.

At least Wilberforce has an imagination, for now.

Brutus you really need to look for the silver lining, but I am afraid that in your case it would probably just mean your fly was open.

Got to change Brutus. You do have SOME good days like right now with your son….

Careful, Brutus. We don’t need any more anti-climate experts.

Cumulonimbus.

Brutus’ life all about clouds?

my wife always assures me, don’t worry, you have your little ray of sunshine sitting next to you. if i put that in a caption under a photo of her with that evil smile on her face it’d probable go viral instantly…

Brutus, out here in our universe, you have a lot of fans who love you. Hope you have at least a couple of true friends in yours.
