The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 20, 2024

That’s why it sounds so familiar!

Repeat from five days ago

But it is true, Brutus.

If at first you don’t succeed, try…TRY…. TRY ….. again, Brutus!!!

;-)

I’m 22 years older than Brutus but to me cabbage smells like s*** yet.

This is the moaning of the (cabb)age of we quarrel us…

It’s a brand new day that’s never been touched, but when you get through with it, it’ll look as bad as all the others.

Welcome to your new day, same as the old day.

I guess 5 days later it hasn’t gotten any better since they’re having the same conversation.

Gladys Thornapple: motivational speaker.

Three things shall remain, faith love and hope.

But, was she wrong?

Groundhog Day for Brutus.

Brutus has a repeat every day. Battle axe on weekends and tyrant boss during week. No wonder he’s bald. He probably pulled his hair out?

We have a local radio talk show host that starts every show with “welcome to this brand new day, it has never been lived before. It’s a blank canvas. If you will it so, it can be your masterpiece.”

Brutus has the wrong attitude. I never had a really good job. Even when I managed a department, I had multiple headaches to go with it. But, I was happy I had a job and a regular paycheck coming in. And, like Brutus, it didn’t hurt that I was senior member of staff.

Cue up Flogging Molly performing The Worst Day Since Yesterday. Or Daniel Powter’s Bad Day.

today’s pretty bad… not to worry, tomorrows gonna be just as bad… maybe even worse. :D

Used to it yet Brutus ?

“Good evening. Tonight on ’It’s the Mind’, we examine the phenomenon of déjà vu. That strange feeling we sometimes get that we’ve lived through something before, that what is happening now has already happened…

Tonight on ’It’s the Mind’ we examine the phenomenon of déjà vu, that strange feeling we sometimes get that we’ve … (looks puzzled for a moment) Anyway, tonight on ’It’s the Mind’ we examine the phenomenon of déjà vu, that strange…"

Only 10,000 new days until retirement.

GoComics error. Go to Andrews McMeel (syndicator) for the current comic.

My mistake… as some replies noted, same idea, new background and some word changes.

Oh no. He’s caught in a time loop. It’s Groundhog Day all over again…….

Syndicator still has a different comic in the ’Loser" list. So sorta GC error.

Monday Morning – can’t trust that day. >

Rerun.

Peas. I hate them and will not try to acquire a taste. I refused to eat them when I was 5 years old and I refuse to eat them at 69. And if I should live to be 100 I will be refusing them then. However there are 3 things I did acquire a taste for: coffee, beer and bourbon. Where there’s a will there’s a way. Three is enough for one life.

Let’s face it, there’s much she serve that you do like. Kinda makes me wonder why they are both on the heavy side.

He’s only 45? He looks older than me and I’m 50. And just eat the filling! That’s the part I love.

Same for me with liver and onions. I will never like that stuff.

More black pepper! If not Smoked Paprika. (I’m on a Paprika tear)

Loooove me some good cabbage rolls/golumpki/gołąbki. By any name, a treat.

He wouldn’t last long in Mom’s house. You ate what was put in front of you or you went hungry.

Whoa, he’s younger than me? Now I really DO feel old!

why wasted perfectly good cabbage on cabbage rolls when you could make cole slaw or, better, sauerkraut…? ☺

Mostly I’m with Brutus on this one. After a lifetime of habit, unlikely our tastes will change — or that most of us would be willing to try to change them. My exception is that, after spending a lifetime avoiding all salad dressings, I discovered in the last couple of years that I like Blue Cheese dressing on my salad. If my mother were still here and saw me having salad with dressing, her reaction would likely be, “Who are you and what have you done with my son?”

Speaking of Mom (and cabbage), when she made corned beef and cabbage, I’d happily eat the corned beef but avoided the cabbage. I never liked it boiled. But her stuffed cabbage was a rare and welcome treat. And I know a good Kosher deli which serves an excellent stuffed cabbage — I almost always order it when I’m there.
