The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 03, 2023

Some day after Halloween even the witches have their merciful day.

Grand lady Ramona sucks all of the air out of the room. I think a black hole might be welcomed

Mother Gargle’s self restraint is pretty impressive. She’s even bordering on civil. Pretty soon she’ll be trying a new hairdo. Then again it’s hard to be irritable when enjoying a good cup of coffee. ☕︎

Boy . . . that conversation heated up fast !

star power…

This makes me wonder what the LEAST DENSEST thing in the universe would be?

A doughnut hole?

That never stopped her before.

Is she sick?

an opening even bigger than her mouth and she didn’t take it

some people have such an empty stomach, it could never get filled no matter how much they ate. :D

Brutus smelled a cheap shot coming from Ramona .

Impressive self restraint from the gargoyle..

Brutus’ side eye look in panel 2 says it all.

Agree with Corklock – Brutus is clearly bracing himself in the middle panel? All of a sudden The Witch has standards? That’s a new wrinkle (other than the ones on her face)!

Everything (and everyone) around it is attracted to (and drawn in by) it.

Actually, had she said it, Brutus could have retorted that his head is so filled with information that he just absorbs everything and that is why he is the most brilliant man in the world and why he shines forth for all, in contrast to a black hole that just sucks the life out of things around it, sort of like you Ramona……

Once . Just once I want to see Wastrel Gravesite walk in and say “let her have it Ace” .

Mother Gargle thinks Brutus lives in the past dense.

Poor Wilberforce brings in some tidbit from school, showing he is learning something, and the adults act like children.

Well you implied it pretty loud.

You need to have a talk with your teacher then Wilberforce for the densest known object in the universe is a Neutron star.

…and Mother G passes on the easy layup!

Great impressive expressions art…

Not unusual. Such people do accuse others of doing the same as they are doing.

Now in this case Brutus was prepared for insult and nipped it in the bud!

She did want to.
