The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 05, 2023

Go soon to change the bank draft.

She’s trying to give the economy a boost.

My, my! You are as stupid as you look.

I didn’t realize, until now, how much bigger she was of him. That makes two Born Losers.

It not bad unless you’re not smart about what you’re buying. We put most essentials (food, gas, etc) on credit card and pay it off monthly. We earn lots of extras (cash back/ vacation miles) and also see itemization of where the money goes.

From the school of thought – I can’t be out of money, I still have checks.

Online shopping is worst, Gladys. With shopping in store, you might get worn out and not buy anything at all. But, online shopping is easier on the bod, but harder on the wallet.

Well, Chip did draw her Blonde.

But she got free shipping with purchases over $35 so she saved money on gasoline and wear on their car, so there is that! /s

Feminine logic.

Poor Brutus. I’m pretty sure Gladys doesn’t quite make the connection between online shopping and the credit card bill. Reminds me of The Credit Card Song by Dick Feller.

For your entertainment.

(From back in the days where one sent in punch cards along with the bill, 1974)

You asked Brutus .

that’s still using that card though Glady’s.

And there you have it, Brutus…her logic!

Brutus – Seize credit cards and give Glady’s a prepaid monthly card. She can spend it all in one day or budget herself. Easy Peasy.

A distinguishment without a difference if ever l heard one. But she is most definitely one of the family members……

She should go into politics.

Brutus realizes he needs to be more specific to a wife who hears what she wants to hear. And who has even less sense than he does! Gladys seems to have grown and Brutus shrunk today Chip. An allegory of their miscommunication?

Mama must have taught her the idiotic thought that she should “pay for” items with a credit card. However, she should have learned better by now.

My bank account can’t be 0, I still have checks. (old joke)

I don’t blame Brutus for looking irritated.

i understand how she feels

A minor point.

What we have here is failure to communicate.

Beside’s Brutus, we can’t be broke, I still have checks in the checkbook.

I hope she bought a copy of Finance for Dummies. Or at least a dictionary.

Got you on a technicality because of the way you phrased it, she didn’t go.

Gladys goes on, “I was just surfing and lo and behold, look at all I found”…

I am a little ashamed that I understand her thinking.

I feel sorry for poor Wilberforce, it appears his gene pool didn’t get much help from either side of his family.

Semantics, Gladys. You still spent money.

Proposed 4th panel: Brutus’ head exploding.

the covid pandemic led to revolutionary thinking in japan, where cash has always been king. the government strongly encouraged folks to use non-cash payment methods (credit or debit cards, for example) to minimize contact and the spread of germs so now folks use credits cards with gay abandon and most places actually accept them. the banks must be wetting themselves over all that credit card debt… ☺
