The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 27, 2022

His mirror is out of sync.

You smiled in panel one. Your image waited until panel two. Something is not going right.

Perhaps there’s a part of you that thinks it’s a stupid idea to be seeing a therapist.

Better than when your therapist can’t stop laughing when you do express your feelings.

Well at least it didn’t break when he looked in it, Mother Gargle on the other hand……

I was going to make a crack about not being able to express my cat’s anal glands, but that would just make me an a$$.

Mother Gargoyle probably looked at the mirror and broke it.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? Brutus, not the mirror.

whoa. brutus goes to a therapist…?

I think the processor is running a bit slow. He needs to clean out all the junk from the system. Start with Mother Gargle.

who knew his reflection has it’s own personality. :D

Only Brutus Thornapple would have a reflection that is indifferent about him.

Brutus is unclear on the concept – as usual!

“Mirror, mirror, above the sink, make up your mind while I get a drink…”

I don’t consider that a flaw. If you can control your emotions, and don’t let them control you, l think that you are doing okay. If only everyone would do that, this world would be better place. Keep up the good work…..

Brutus does have an imagination.

CONTROL-ALT-DELETE….

Brutus, how many ways do you need to express disappointment and despair.

Delayed reaction mirror? Am I the only one who sees a resemblance with Veeblefester in the first panel?

The writer Kurt Vonnegut called mirrors “leaks” because they were openings to another universe. Or at least that’s what a sci-fi writer named Kilgore Trout, a character in Vonnegut’s novels maintained. At the same time Vonnegut denied being a sci-fi writer. INMHO he wrote about the strangeness of human life.

Just don’t light a candle and say Bloody Mary three times!!

Did you try rebooting the mirror, Brutus?

Feelings, whoa oh oh, feelings.

One good thing, at least Brutus’ reflection isn’t talking back to him.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, Brutus is the goofiest-looking of all.
