The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 19, 2024

Herein lies an artist that has not bought a bulb for quite a while

That’s a dirty trick.

Or you could just, you know, dust, being as the party is still several hours away. Brutus, when did you marry Peggy Bundy?

Phew!!! I thought that Mother Gargoyle was on the ….“invite” list!!!

\SHMIRK/

Of course he will come home with a 25 watt LED instead of a 25 watt equivalent LED.

Why not just leave them in the dark?

I knew it was time to dust when my hardwood floor started to look like shag carpeting.

Open the doors and windows then have Brutus bring in the leaf-blower, preferably battery powered one, then blow the dust back outside to where it came from. Works for me! ;-)

dust in the wind…

We can’t have bulbs brighter than Brutus, now can we?

25 Watts? That’s not dim!!!! Well… not now with LEDs… maybe it was in the 90s :D

I had a ceiling light burn out in kitchen. They’re spot light type bulbs. When I went to Lowe’s where I got them before, they told me they only sell LED bulbs because of government. I had to replace 8 bulbs instead of one. What a racket?

I’m not sure Gladys’ light is on or that anyone’s home.

they maybe bringing in stuff to help them have a sleepover instead… :j

Dust today – dust forever. Turn ceiling fans on High. Add some disco lights from 1970. Loud music playing YMCA by Village People. >

25W LEDs are pretty bright, actually. People really need to get onto using actual light units instead of power units

Attagirl……

Practical, economical but weird if they don’t match with the other bulbs. A better idea would be to use candles instead of electric lights. Better ambiance and it would hide the dust also. Best way though is to spend 15 minutes time and just dust. Come on now woman……

Dim bulbs. Perfect born loser theme.

How about a nice candlelit dinner Gladys? You would have a nice ambience, although Brutus would probably fall asleep

Back in the day when I was living in the dorm at Ohio State, every once in a while, the dining hall would be candlelit. It didn’t take as long to figure out those were the nights they were recycling the mystery meat for the third time.

Good excuse, Gladys!

How much is that in lumens?

Sunday night Party! You go Thornapples!

Hey Brutus… What ya cooking up?

brutus will still manage to screw it up ’cause, as MeGoNow says above, brutus is a bit of a dim bulb… ☺

Gladys is definitely not a dim bulb!

I like how she thinks.
