The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 18, 2024

Don’t suppose it would help if I mentioned that a negative times a negative equals a positive?

Precisely why you don’t listen to the MIL

You’re not a real Born Loser: you have Gladys, Wilberforce, Kwepie, mother Gargle and Rancid…..no, wait a moment.

You can’t help it, Brutus. You were created that way.

Your not a loser your just playing the game of life wrong

We all have those days Brutus. You HAVE a great job and you love your mil…..(I might have told a fib a to cheer him up)

If your wife is willing to literally stand by you, you’re doing something right Brutus. Listen to her, and count your blessings.

Don’t give Mother Gargoyle the satisfavtion Brutus.

The positive negative man.

After all, he did test positive.

Gladys, Wilberforce, and Kewpie think differently.

Awww! I know how you feel! But having a pity party won’t help you get out of your slump! ☺️

Gladys: Life Coach…

The first Billy Jack movie was The Born Losers

Today is a good day for Born Loser, no battle axe to add to his misery. She would be all over him with the way he’s feeling.

think of it this way, your pretty good at being a loser. :D

Years ago a coworker told me that if you kick yourself in the rear, what do you think others will do?

“Remember George: No man is a failure who has friends.”

But we readers love you Brutus. Cheer up. See you tomorrow.

Being born a loser does not mean you need to stay that way. Count your blessings, you picked a good wife and your dog loves you. Sit up straight, be positive.

One must know and understand both their strengths and weaknesses.So just the knowing, makes you stronger and wiser as to future decisions. And in my book, you are anything but a loser……

Oh, what a sad day for Brutus.

All he has to do is read the line above their heads.

Well Brutus is way above most folks as far as self-awareness goes! But chin up Big Guy – many many people look forward to seeing you and your adventures every day!

That’s okay, Brutus … you’re OUR born loser. :-D

It hard to think positive when you have people around that constantly belittle you.

Thinking that way is what’s called a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you think you’re a loser, you’ll be one. Step one for Brutus would be to leave a job with such a horrid boss.

Brutus, I came to my conclusion a long time ago

That joke is older than I am. And that’s really really old.

I love you anyway ♥

He needs a crossover to Breaking Cat News immediately. He can benefit from the pep talk Sophie is being given today!!!!

You may be a Born Loser; that happens. We love you, Brutus.

If “The Born Loser” were made into a movie, I always pictured Walther Matthau, Norman Fell or Rodney Dangerfield playing Brutus. Or maybe Barney Martin, the guy who played Jerry Seinfeld’s dad. They’re all gone, so I wonder who would be the best living actor to play him…

brutus should adopt mose allison’s cheerful outlook – ♪ i don’t worry ‘bout a thing ’cause i know nothin’s gonna be all right… ☺

Look at all the comments here, Brutus — you are one popular guy! Clearly our favorite born loser!
