The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 31, 2024

Better than a rock. Happy Halloween!

It is rather odd, probably better than a pickled egg. BUT chances are that house will get egged tonight

They were out of candies at the hard-discount store.

Crankshaft passed out Metamucil packets one year.

More like a bad joke. You could have got zucchini instead.

I like both.

When I was a kid,people handed out pennies and toothbrushes.Those houses got egged and TP’d.

definitely a trick. You don’t go gherkin kids around like as a treat.

Golly, jinkies! I WONDER who the second kid is, in that signature hat! Hmm!

a tricky treat!

A real Gherkin that house…

(¬_¬)

Treat! I love pickles.

A trick or a treat? Depends on the pickle.

Totally loving the art today Chip , especially the last panel .

Over at the Pickles, they gave out zucchinis

You’re “sposed” to put it in your pocket!

Mother Gargle’s Holiday. Maybe Hurricane Hattie scared her away?

I love Pickles. All types. Plant Zucchini and Squash. Love em mixed. Late wife made the best Zucchini bread ever. Best cook ever but I miss her more daily. I thank the Great Lord for her often during the day. She and my Mom were best friends. I was out numbered and loved it.

Perhaps they can give it to Mother Gargle to help keep her disposition sour?

the trick is thinking they’re getting candy… perhaps it’s time for you to treating yourself by giving them a trick of your own. :D

I would throw it back and let them make the call. I as a parent, would throw it away. Not individually wrapped and sealed by a reputable company for starts but for kids, that is just totally wrong……

Have a Happy Halloween and be safe out there…..

When your the son of the Born Loser you should already know the answer

It depends how you feel about pickles.

My guess is the homeowners ate all the Halloween candy and they had to start grabbing anything they could! But If it was a Clausen whole dill those are the good stuff! Hopefully that wasn’t Brutus and Gladys because the last thing a born loser needs is his house TP’ed!

Beats getting a rock like Charlie Brown

Mmmmm. Deep fried pickles, fried chicken, and mashed potatoes with red-eye gravy!

I hope it was at lease wrapped up, they can get a little sloppy otherwise.

At least it wasn’t Rolaids. Or Ex-Lax.
