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

Or your grandma, also known as the fate worse than death.

Fate, thy name is “Mom”.

Wives are the #1 reason for best days and worst days. The other ones just seem to all rate about the same.

Well, congratulations, Brutus…this just proves you’re paying attention.

It seems that fate is impacting his life in a negative way — quite often. In fact so often that the title of this comic was chosen to be the Born Loser. (This is one of life’s mysteries. Why does fate make some people to be born as losers, while others are born with silver spoons in their mouths?)

Ma Gargoyle is more likely. The Chief is a distant second to her.

“Destiny, destiny. No escaping that for me”

From ‘Joung Frankenstein’, 1974

Fate is like the Dark Force. It’s controlled by the Simulation.

Child prodigy!

“God’s greatest gift to man is his wife.” Solomon

Government?.. :D

Poor Brutus. He’s been goosed by the Flying Fickle Finger of Fate.

Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don’t always like. Lemony Snicket

Good one, Wilberforce, but that’s not quite what Brutus meant!

My fate is a black cloud that follows me around.

Remarkably astute for a kid who stumbled over Mom’s question yesterday. While Brutus has at least 3 people in his life who control him the fate that makes him a Born Loser is universal!

I give Brutus credit for even trying to explain fate to a child. I hope this doesn’t make Wilberforce believe he is also fated to be a Born Loser.

God has two wills. Perfect will and permissive will. Permissive will means that God may allow you to do something but it is sinful in nature and sin has it’s consequences. And Solomon was very sinful marrying pagan women/creating pacts with pagan nations against God’s command NOT to. Kingdom was lost after Solomon disobeyed God. Many deaths/murder. To please his wives, Solomon even got involved in sacrificing to idols. For a wise man – he turned out a fool. If one thinks they can please 700 wives and 300 girlfriends – they are a big fool indeed.

Fate = Mother Gargle…

Fate: the predicament you’re currently in….

Wilberforce! Don’t give in to the evil side of the Fate!!!!!!!

He should have known his fate was doomed when it handed him his MIL.

ba dum tss

Gladys is only a small part of what makes up Brutus’ fate.

Atta, boy!

Wilberforce is absolutely correct, Fate is a Muther…

after getting married i finally realized that that my life really was in the hands of a higher power…

quite possibly. :}
