The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 02, 2024

She can always stay home to not put herself in the misery of his company. It would be a win, win.

The plant in the middle of them is still green despite her presence.

Brutus, you walked right into it!

Brutus, Brutus, you won’t just walk away.

Mother Superior Gargle grumped the fun…(You too, Brutus?) :-)

Wonder how many days it took her to come up with that little gem. A different reply to the question of “you know what I like about you?” might be, “My stunning good looks?” “My razor sharp wit?”, or “How nice I look in a yellow sweater?” If she’s going to insult you, at least make her work for it.

You know the invisible fence to keep your dog in the yard? Could Brutus use one to keep her out of the yard?

I know what I would like about you mother grossness, your absence!

Because you asked first.

Can anyone say fish in a barrel?

It’s a good thing Mother Gargle never wrote lyrics for The Romantics.

It’s your fault, Brutus! You walk into her traps all the time!

Reminds me of the song by the Romantics

No, and I don’t care.

You didn’t walk into it, you ran!

You fell right into that Brutus .

Brutus just got Gargled…

“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth is her tongue and to have Mother Gargle for a mother-in-law. Apologies to Shakespeare and the excellent work King Lear.

maybe the way he can get back at you when you make snarky comments like that. :)

That old battle axe just had to ruin Brutus’s weekend. Home is where the heart is, why don’t you go find your heart.

Maybe someday Brutus will learn. His expression shift from hopeful in the second to dashed to pieces in the third is priceless. And a two panel encapsulation of the life of a Born Loser!

Do Gargoyle and Hurricane Hattie collude with Rancid on zingers for Brutus?

He walked into that comment no doubt. However, if there had been a fourth cartoon panel, Brutus could have listened his many sterling attributes and put Ramona to shame. Alas, there are only three panels. However, Brutus lives to battle another day with the Evil Ramona and victory will ultimately be his.So it is written, so it shall be done…..

“What I like about you is you’re such an easy target…”

She set him up……….again!

Was that an old joke?

Ban her forever!

Mother Gargle resembles my first Mother-in-law. And unfortunately, her daughter as well.

ba dum tss

You always walk right into it Brutus! Don’t make it soooo E-Z for her!

I can answer that question, he’s her favorite whipping boy.

Burn

…and to think ol’ Brutus gets to look at that every day for the rest of his life…first his MIL, then Gladys as she ages…yep, definitely a Born Loser just on that alone.

Brutus just tell Gargle the list of reasons would be just too endless for you to even attempt a guess.

Not the first time…01-08-1996

One good thing she could do is just leave!

is she sporting a nose or a can opener?

Ah, Brutus! When are you ever going to stop being the straight man for Mother G?!

Brutus has two Mother-in-Law tongues to get out of that room! I see that plant!
