The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 05, 2024

Snowball her!

Oh goody. A visitor.

And with that weather you know she’s spending the night

Easy to speak when you are home safely doing nothing all day, old bat.

“It’s colder than a wit… oh, hello mother Gargle.”

And the WICK WITCH FROM THE WEST’S MONKEY

Just what he enjoys coming home to, the old battleax!

Old bats don’t fly in the winter…Sorry, it’s all i had. Can’t bad mouth the lady!

Time to give her the cold shoulder.

Give her her walking papers.

Oh, you’re here? I’m heading back to the bus stop.

It’s ‘colder’ inside for Brutus

Brutus needs a hot toddy…

Brutus wasn’t asking your opinion, he was telling you that you should leave NOW, so you don’t miss the next bus home and be stuck out there in the cold And dark.

Always a warm welcome from Mother Gargle.

Mother Gargle needs a good talking to from her daughter. I would never allow my mother to treat my husband that way.

Poor Brutus. It just got colder.

Poor Brutus gets burned by Mother Gargle, though it isn’t the welcoming warmth of home he was likely anticipating.

It’s colder in here than outside

Should have stayed at the office.

I see the Nor Eastern blew Mother Gargle in. And she had no hot cocoa for poor cold slave working Brutus. Gladys!!

Ramona Gargle . The one constant in the universe .

Hey Brutus ! Superman called – he wants his boots back .

If it ain’t the Old Battle Axe which makes my terrible day at work complete! I didn’t see your broom at the front door. Where’d you leave it?

no joke here yeti

Brutus: Well if it isn’t the wicked witch fro the east, west, south and north!

and the wicked witch of the house hold still shadows the doorway to greet the abominable slow man. :D

She’s definitely not the Gargoyle of his dreams (Nightmares, yes)…

Yeti lets her stay…

(¬_¬)

What is this thing with speed and Gargle? Was she a fast runner in her youth? Or, has she been an armchair runner all her life?

Unkind, Gladys. He was walking against a head wind.

Wow if there was ever a Born Loser day this is it. A Monday, full day of Rancid, snow storm which portends shoveling, and the ever present Ice Witch with her usual charm. And probably to be followed by a home cooked meal by Gladys. Ugh.

I’m sure it’s no coincidence that her hair resembles a witch’s hat.

Ain’t she a Peach ? Did she at least shovel the snow off the sidewalk ? Naaaaaahhhhhh

Hello to you too. Sounds like you are having a pretty good day. Must have eaten your required dosage of toadstools and eye of newt while mixing your witches brew……

Give her a snowball Brutus!!!

Just when you think things can’t get any worst.

There’s only one abominable character in this strip – and it’s not Brutus.

Ugh…now to make matters MUCH WORSE here you stand :-(

Maybe this coming Christmas he can get some matching red gloves.

The Abominable Slow Man meets the Abominable Snow Monster.

Ah, Mother Gargle, who is probably now retired (assuming she ever worked at an outside job) and gets to spend her time trashing the working man as he slogs through the snow. Brutus’ reply should be, “If I’d known you were here, I’d have taken twice as long to get home.”

She is such an awful person. It would be a shame if she got stranded in the snow in her car overnight. Are you reading this Art and Chip? Just a suggestion.
