The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 25, 2023

Rosalyn from “Calvin and Hobbes” would have been cheaper.

Knowing Mother Gargoyle, I’m not surprised.

Mother Gargoyle’s BROOM must have “broken” the speed of sound, getting to Brutus’ house!!!

/SHMIRK/

WOOF! – it’d been cheaper to board him and Kewpie overnight in a kennel

I feel the love!

How dare you! That is the most outrageous form of child abuse. SOMEBODY CALL CPS!

Inflation okay!!

Lucky? More like cursed.

And don’t forget to tip!

BTW how many hours does Brutus have to work to pay for one hour of baby sitting?

$40 for the old battle axe to baby sit. I’d start charging her for meals when she drops by or not feed her at all.

mama charged you to sit on your kid while you go out even though she’s over all the time anyways… no wonder your complaining.

What event is worth $40 an hour for babysitting?

Mother Gargle, wretched, spiteful harridan that she is gouges Brutus again…

Once again the “mother in law” stiffs Brutus!

If, I’d learned the baby sitter would charge $40 per hour, I’d stay home. Unless the date was for an anniversary, then the sky’s the limit.

Well she was on her way to the Casino when you called!

They had no choice really. Veeblefester was demanding $100 per hour.

I used to babysit for a full day every week. I think I need to have a chat with the parents of my grandchildren – I bought toys, etc, and I never got a penny. Actually, what I got was some very good quality time with my grandchildren that I might have missed, and that is priceless.

Change her $250 per night when she visits as she probably is now. Subtract $160 for the 4 hours she “babysitted” so she only owes you $90 for tonight….

I think that can be considered extortion.

Brutus, a date with Gladys? I thought you were married…

OK Gladys, our date; dinner at Bob’s Big Boy, then a stroll through the rest of the mall, says Brutus gleefully…

Brutus thinks, I shoulda cleaned out the fridge and hidden the pantry stuff, darn…

Hopefully Kewpie will protect Wilberforce from Ramona…

I told Ramona, bring your own food said Brutus…

Well, I didn’t see that coming, but seeing that it was Mother Gargyl, I wan’t surprised.

I guess Mother G is adjusting her rates for inflation. Or perhaps not.

$40 an hour for babysitting, daymn, that’s a lot.
