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

Witch she has a lot of experience with

Thus spoke lady kindness.

It would take one to know one.

Isn’t it time that Mother Gargoyle got on her “broom” and made a hasty …… EXIT!!!

/SHEESH\

Oh, Hi gramma

Well no matter how offensive he is, he has nothing on you, ya old bat!

Saw that coming.

Did anyone else notice the mistake in the first panel. There’s a word missing.

DUMMY

I hope Brutus doesn’t get too defensive about Mother Gargle’s comment

You old battle axe you put the off in offensive. You must have a place you can haunt this time of year?

Let me show you some of that tackling….

I was thinking she would say “The Tackle Dummy” but she was even more crude. That Brillo Hair of Mother Gargles must require a metal worker’s skill.

he was on the practice squad…

He’d tell her to go haunt a house, but she’s already haunting his…

She’s always offensive.

who’d he tackle, the ball or the other player. :}

That old bat should be put in a home

I was an offensive throwback. Or so my coach said. A real triple threat man. He never knew if I’d stumble, fumble or fall down.

Actually, l could envision him in that position. He would have been good on either side of the ball. However, Mother Gargoyle, talk about offensive. You are, and probably always were, what was called by guys a “two-bagger”……

When Mommy Dearest is in the first panel I have to steel myself for her inevitable kind and graceful words in the last. Hopefully Brutus doesn’t even acknowledge her presence.

“I was. And I would repulse the defensive line. I was the most offensive and repulsive member of the squad!”

The full name of the position is tackle dummy.

“Actually, he was an offensive right guard.”

“How offensive was he?”

“He was so offensive, they named a deodorant after him!”

Come on Guardians! Beat the Stink Stanky Yankees!

If that was said in my childhood home, it would have ended with my dad saying that he hadn’t ever told me that because he didn’t play football.

Doesn’t the old bat have some place to go?

Not nearly as offensive as YOU, Mother Gargle.

She gives even grandmothers a bad name. . . . .

Ah! Nothing like a visit from The Wicked Witch of the Midwest!

Your perfume’s offending me, Ramona.

FLAG! 15 yards for taunting.
