The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 30, 2023

I’ll take a bowl, hold the wool.

Strange, isn’t that what his mother-in-law served the last time she cooked?

That’s what Mrs Gargle cooks every day.

Well, there goes MY appetite!!!!!

:-O

So, the same ingredients as always?

As long as there is no pumpkin spice in it.

Isn’t that you mothers recipe Sounds delicious why can’t we have this every week

Will Brutus decide he wants a cheese sandwich instead? Or just coffee and a donut?

And if you want it spicy we’ll add some wolfsbane and nightshade.

Yummm, home cooking

“Fillet of a funny snake.

Into the cauldron, boil and bake."

(A funny snake? Shakespeare’s lame attempt to throw some humor into the tragic play.)

Next week can’t come soon enough.

It will sell out for sure.

I’ll just have a baloney & bean sandwich with a bowl of popcorn soup, thank you.

Two all beef parries, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, onion, pickle on a sesame seed bun!

Is Mother Gargle the chef? Sounds like something she’d make…

Straight from a wet market in Wuhan.

same as always but know he knows what he’s been eating all this time

Is it gluten-free?

Bats have wool?

Give me a double portion. Been over a year since I had a fine meal. Croak.

I’ll have that – do you have any sriracha sauce?

And for Christmas season they will be featuring a three decker sauerkraut and toadstool sandwich with arsenic sauce!

Watching my weight, I’ll have the small salad please.

that’s what i had for dinner

Pass on it Brutus .

Oh yes, the Monday Special.

hmm… sounds like a spell a word I dare not drink. :p

So when did Mother Gargle start working at that diner?

My kind of Halloween stew is a good mix of mini candy bars. Of course, I’ll probably have to eat them all, myself. That’s one of the perks of not having a kid active block.

Tongue of dog? Brutus may not want to eat it, but if it’s Mother Gargle’s tongue he should be happy. That might silence her acid comments to him.

Seasoned with a blindworm’s sting…Those witches in Macbeth sure knew how to mix a stew.

“Manager! Manager” cries Brutus…

THAT got Brutus’ attention!

…..and she means it.

Is it fresh ?

Why not try it. I’m sure that I have eaten worse things in some of the chilies that l have eaten. The only things you got to lose are your money and your life. Happy Halloween my friend….

Is it gluten-free?

Got the recipe from Mama Gargoyle.

Normally I’d say it’s best not to ask, I’ll make an exception in this case.

Either that or that stinking Pumpkin Spice.

Just wait until they try to sell this Halloween stuff on Friday!

No thank you.

If there was a fourth panel I’m sure Brutus would’ve turned Green

Brutus wants fries with that.

The waitress sort of looks like a younger version of Gladys.

A recipe especially for him from his very own mother-in-law.

How about some Rocky mountain oysters?

wow, so a step up from their usual fare…

Next!?

Run! Now! While you still have a chance to escape!!!

Please tell me Brutus is smart enough to find out what the ingredients really are before he samples this stew.

Dare the customers hope syrup of ipecac is on the dessert menu?

Huh. So I guess it’s the amount of each ingredient that makes it special.
