The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 25, 2022

Happy Christmas to all.

Childhood innocence truly make Christmas a joy. May all of you Loser lovers have a joyful Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Mr. T!!!!!

my kinda group too. Merry Christmas! :g

Merry Christmas to everyone!

I used to put the cookies away and pour the milk back into the container, leaving crumbs and milk-stain on the glass.

Phew! What a night! Merry Christmas everyone! snzzzzzzz

Happy and merry Christmas Ye Born Losers. Make sure you’re here next year. In person or in Spirit. I’ll Leave the Coffee Perking.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Today’s strip isn’t too far off of how I discovered/realized my parents, um, complicity in Santa’s leaving presents under the tree…

Merry CHRISTmas

I hated the day I found out my parents were Santa. I loved thinking there was such a person who came and left gifts.

…and they all have the same handwriting. I’ve always theorized that Santa is diabetic and lactose intolerant. Fortunately in my house, the cookies were outstanding and seemingly irresistible. Always gone.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

Santa needs that jolt coffee gives once he is about halfway through his route, Nothing to be concerned about. Merry Christmas my friends…..

A perfect Christmas strip! The innocence of youth, Mom and Dad playing along, and the “oops, we got all the details right except one!” Merry Christmas Chip and fellow TBL Nation members!

The Santa character never made sense to me. When my 6 yo sibling told 4 yo me that the presents came from parents, I wasn’t surprised. I continued the ruse for the benefit of the next younger sibling.

And you missed Mommy kissing Santa Claus.

Wilberforce is a standard nut in a metric world

The son is not too bright, is he?

All good things come to an end…sadly.

You don’t have to worry about Wilberforce being suspicious of Santa, he’ll be a senior in high school before he figures that one out.

Santa preferred a small bottle of Coke (the old 6 1/2 oz green glass bottles) with his chocolate chip cookies when he came to my house. We didn’t have a chimney, so my Dad made sure Santa had a key.

in our house santa would’ve left a bunch of empties lying around…

hope y’all are enjoying your yule. happy christmas!

Obviously, the existence of Santa is interpretive, but, in my mind, since Santa embodies everything about sharing, giving, and caring, then, he is as real as any of us.“Merry Christmas, to all, and to all, a good night!”

Wilbur is much like me when I was this age. My realization of something fishy was all the store Santa’s. I couldn’t understand how Santa could be in every store at the same time. We had started at the Belk’s Department Store and went to the Penny’s. And there was a Santa in both of them. That’s when I asked my momma what’s up with that? She was amused.

“Yeah, son, that’s quite a coincidence. I guess next year we should leave out cookies and coffee for the big guy.”

And Wilberforce gets another year of believing.

Every Christmas we kids would always get a new winter jacket and a pair of shoes.

I really like the look on Wilberforce’s face in the first panel! Pure joy!
