The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 04, 2024

If you’ve got it, flaunt it!

Consider, and discount, the source

At least he doesn’t use a broom to get around and doesn’t cook in a cauldron.

Says the “woman” that could cause California’s ….. “big” earthquake, STAT! ! !

(o-O)

It’s always nice to see mother Gargle visit, she makes a house a home (and no, I’m not on drugs!)

She’s the biggest fault he has.

It would take a very long sheet of paper to list all of yours Mother Gargle. Shall we start with that witchly hairstyle?

Might as well. Why waste them.

Mother Gargle must have gotten that line from an episode of Bewitched; which seems appropriate.

she’s faulty…

guess Brutus just has to make do with what he’s got, as usual

He’s not completely worthless. He can always be used as a bad example.

So he’s a winner by de fault.

You old battle axe what are you doing here on a Monday? Shouldn’t you still be in a cave ?

Isn’t she a sweetheart Brutus ?

Be all that you can’t be.

Gargoyle to start off the week? This is a bad omen. I was thinking that it Brutus had merely said thank you in the second panel he would’ve avoided the zinger, but no doubt she had already rehearsed it and would’ve given it anyway. In the absence of a coffee cup the smoke above Brutus‘s head will have to serve as today’s rimshot.

Looks like this comic is getting an upgrading.

So somebody named a born loser, now doesn’t have that many faults? Progress.

Brutus, buy mother Gargle a ticket to the Amazon Outback as a Christmas present. One way ticket.

Have you tried dumping a bucket of water on her yet??

good thing you have plenty enough faults of your own he can tease you with. :D

Mother Gargle revenges herself for what Brutus said on 11-1.

That being said….back to our regular programing.

She did it again…………..

Like putting up with you?

One of his faults is trying to be nice to her

Beware of witches bearing compliments.

Poncho (POOCH CAFE) or Chesney + Lily (TEN CATS) would take the sting out of Mother Gargle should she ever cross over to those strips.

Quality not quantity.

ba dum tss

There’s always a “but” coming after that woman says something nice.

Brutus reminds me of a sweet puppy trying to make friends with either a very crabby cat or any skunk.

Mother Gargle, you don’t have a big mouth but you sure make use of what you’ve got.

Tops in backhanded compliments she is……

Brutus set himself up for that one by his comment in the second panel.
