The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 22, 2024

And any castle has its monster.

Quit lowering the drawbridge!

How to Storm a castle without storming the castle.

A bigger and deeper moat would at least slow her down….

You need a good gargoyle-eating monster in your moat.

With Mother Gargoyle, a moat won’t do!!! You’ll need a YUGE ….. fly swatter!!!

;-)

She’s been to Erie!

Likely not a big deal, but I haven’t.

Oh no, it’s mommy in law dearest.

A moat filled with piranha might work.

Wonder is that re-moatly possible?

Put a line of blessed salt around the house? Hex signs over the portals? Holy water spritzer?

And a flying, fire breathing dragon.

How does a moat stop a broom?

no moat would ever be wide or deep enough to keep that women from invading your castle. :J

forget the moat – move and don’t leave an address…!

Oh, Lord. How long she’s staying?

What? She didn’t just walk in like she lives there?

When he’s reading in his chair, his posture is very poor. That’s going to lead to back problems in the future.

If our hero had a moat filled with alligators, he’d wind up getting in trouble for animal cruelty after Mother Gargle beat the alligators up.

You sure do Brutus !

…or boiling oil from the towers. : )

And Ramona’s a royal pain in the butt.

That old battle axe to start off the week, makes everyone a born looser.

And a dragon

With mother-in-law eating sharks or alligators in it……

And Mother Gargle is your Gargoyle…

wouldn’t help, she’d just break out her broom

Well if you’re putting in a moat don’t skimp on the alligators.

Place Mother Gargle up on the roof. Every medieval castle needs a gargoyle, amirite?

That would not work…..she carrie’s swimming gear….

Wonderful gag! Throw her in the dungeon! I was expecting to see Rancid since it’s a Monday strip but instead we get Ramona. And throwing her in on the last panel, after two panels of domestic bliss, was dirty pool Chip! :-) The temperature in the room just went down 40°!

Mother Gargle would just fly over it. You can feel the LOVE between Brutus and Mother Gargle.Double, double toil and trouble;Fire burn and caldron bubble.Fillet of a fenny snake,In the caldron boil and bake;Eye of newt and toe of frog,Wool of bat and tongue of dog,Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,Lizard’s leg and Owl’s wing,For a charm of powerful trouble,Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;Fire burn and caldron bubble.Cool it with a baboon’s blood,Then the charm is firm and good.

Moat monster chow has gone up 43% over the past two years.

You already got a moat monster.

Time to relocate to a different castle several states away.

Haha! With alligators!

Mother Gargoyle has arrived again.

And a couple of fire-breathing dragons to patrol that moat!! LOL

And a cannon on the wall, intercept those nasty varmints.

If you’re putting in a moat, don’t bother with a drawbridge.

Poor Brutus. I hope he was just walking out to go to work. It’s got to be better at work.

Or least one of them there fancy cameras so you know whether or not to open the door.
