The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 17, 2023

Repay in kind

Mother Gargle becomes more offensive every day. It’s time for a strong rebellion, Brutus.

Let’s see, would she prefer ugly, hideous, or grotesque?

Ugh! She’s like a pervasive mold.

I’m tubby. Well at least i don’t have a face that could stop a clock.

I prefer lard butt.

Well turnabout is fair play. I don’t notice your being overly svelte yourself. Not to mention just ugly and mean.

He could start a new hobby, like playing the tuba.

Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I’d poison your tea.

Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I’d drink it.

People whose hair looks like a used Brillo pad shouldn’t be making fun of others.

The last suit i ever bought at Men’s Warehouse had tag for “Portly” – never go there again

Actually, when you get down to brass tacks, I’d prefer tubby to fat. There’s a certain endearing quality to tubby, the boy next door type of connotation.

She is one to talk. She is fatter thn he is.

sure thing gargle and spit… see, two can play that game. :D

It’s way past time to give that bikini-bod, raven-tressed paragon of inner and outer female beauty her permanent walking papers.

Just keep reminding her, she will die first…

What if he said “any”?

And you Mother Gargoyle are a Witch…

If you live in a glass house yourself, be careful about throwing stones at others……

Brutus left himself wide open for that response!

Brutus should have learned by now – never even try to carry on a conversation with Ms. Hate.

Hand her a broom and tell her not to let the door hit her in the butt on the way out. Grow a pair.

I’m in my house I’m an Oompah Loopa

Don’t you call me pudgy, portly or stoutJust now tell me once again who’s fat?

She had no need to discuss his fat or lack of it in the first place. I am sure he is aware of his size and either is comfortable with it or not, which is his business. It’s hard to deal with people who are even a little like Mama, as they have zero filter and enjoy making people miserable. They seem to live for it. They are usually very unhappy people, but I suspect Mama is having fun.

Mother Gargle’s behavior is Gladys’ fault. She should tell her mother to show Brutus some respect or she is not welcome to visit.

Poor Brutus, everyone favorite whipping boy.

I have a retort for you Brutus, I can lose weight, but you can’t fix ugly

The “Old Witch” is a good name.

subjective conjugation: I am amply-sized, you are husky, she is fat

“OK Ramona, call me anything you want, but don’t call me late for dinner”, grumbles Brutus…

Beats the heck out of me why he lets her into the house. In-law, or not, if I had one that talked to me that way, she would not be welcome there.
