The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 26, 2023

Good one

She’s talking with her colleague: the witch Gudrun.

The Cicadas sound more pleasant.

I’d rather hear pigs oinking. Sorry I’ve dealt with an overbearing mil. Horrible person!

Makes you want to dig out your CD of “101 Dentist Drill Sounds.”

Brutus seem to have confused cicadas with locusts.

Mother Gargoyle can’t be a cicada. Cicadas only visit once in 17 years. Mother Gargoyle seems to visit every 10 days!

The biggest Cicada and loudest of all.

I just noticed that Brutus seems to be sporting a thin mustache. I’ve had at least a mustache for most of my adult life, though now I’ve added a goatee, all gray and most impressive.

Mother Gargoyle chirps like a cicada? I would have said cackle like a crow.

Ahh yes, the never ending drone of Mother Gargle’s voice. While she may be trash talking Brutus to whomever she’s talking to, at least she isn’t flinging fiery barbs at him; something to be appreciative of.

Brutus cannot LET IT BE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTcb_33-DiI Beatles.

Brutus . . . . you sly one you .

what’s the difference. :D

good one Brutus

The old battle axe sounds worse than a small bug! Yak yak yak!

Hilarious! Especially Brutus’ look in the 3rd – what we used to call an “S.E.G.” !Brutus wishes she would be a cicada and only come around once every 17 years!

Note: Check out the sly smile on Brutus’ face!

Cicada, is that a South American dance?…

“Mic drop”

I guess Brutus would like if his mother-in-law would only show-up seventeen years apart. Sorry, Brutus.

You are not being fair to cicadas.

Another winner here, Chip….

More like a swarm of locusts.

Turnabout is fair play.

At least she is chirping at someone else.

what’s that indistinct background noise? ah, women who happened to meet gossiping on the corner…

It is about time for the cicadas to return. I don’t know about other parts of the country but here in Georgia, an alternate name for them is “July flies.”
