The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 31, 2022

War on Ukraine (and other parts of the World), new pandemic curse, economic improvrmrnt only for fat cats. Happy 2023 to everybody.

Yeah, right.

Since Brutus lives in a different universe than we do, 2023 might actually be better for him

maybe it’s closed for the holiday

I think there is a lot of hope for 2023, I think Ukraine will settle the invasion problem before next winter with a much weakened Putin. We can’t do much with the weather (at this point) so we’ll have to adjust. We’ll get through it

Hope Brutus doesn’t slip off the edge of Echo Point, that could really ruin the year for him.

A flock of black swans.

Dream on!

We found Veeblefester’s side hustle!

Its never a good thing when the abyss laughs at you…Nietzsche would be amused.

This could have been Brutus’ father, back at the start of 1941.

Hope extinguished.

And 2023 says, “here, hold my beer”

Many of the same people are still in charge of running/ruining things

Wow! Even nature and creation confirm Brutus is the Born Loser!

that can’t be a good sign… :{

Echo point would be a good place to have the old battle axe. Oops she slipped!

Don’t think so. Life does seem to have a way of getting in your face. Might just want to take a step or two back before you have one of those Wile E. Coyote moments yourself….

that laugh – sounds sooooo familiar. could it be, nooooo, but then again! OH NO, IT IS!!!!!!! out of the east …………. come on man!!!!

Happy New Year, Brutus… and all the other Born Losers out there.

Surviving to live another day is good.. surviving a whole year, better still.

HIPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Only Brutus Thornapple’s life would be so sad that even an echo laughs at him.

If you wake up in the morning that will be a good start on the new year. But, it could be all downhill from there.

Look out it’s 2023 RUN !!!!

I don’t know, Brutus. With the US house in Repub control, we’ll be lucky to keep what we have, now. But, that shouldn’t be so hard as most of the good stuff from ‘22 was won with bipartisan support. And Brutus, you still have your job. That’s good, too.

Sounds like a repeat/rerun year revving up. But maybe I’m wrong and it will improve. I/we can only hope for a better 2023.

With your track record, better to expect the worse, that way you won’t be disappointed.

I am no fun at all. It’s just another day to me. Yesterday I took my dog to the hospital to work and tomorrow I will too. The person I go with agreed we would go twice this week to make up for missing Christmas day due to both of us having awful migraines due to that nasty quick weather change. There will be plenty of people in the hospital tomorrow who aren’t happy to be there but will be happy to see a couple of happy dogs. I hope everyone has a happy new year!

Happy New Year, Brutus! It’ll be a good year as long as we can continue to enjoy dipping into your life every day!

And Happy New Year to you, Chip!

Hang in there, Brutus. Don’t give up hope that 2023 will be better. At least some things are bound to be better. Happy New Year to Chip, and everyone who comments here.

Pip would probable agree with that!!!

It’s somewhat humiliating when an echo laughs at you.

bwa ha ha was my exact reaction when i looked out the window this morning and saw the snow had mostly melted away. a great start to the new year… ☺

Happy New Year Ye BORN LOSER FREAKS. Same time next year.

I’m looking forward to 2023! (But I was looking forward to 2020 too so what the Hell do I know?!?)

The Abyss looking back.

Happy New Year everyone!

HA HA!

It’s gonna be a great year for PHATCAT!
