The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 16, 2024

Ooh! Tricky!

What’s the color of the Napoleon’ white horse?

Now she has to guess if he’s telling the truth.

I predict a failed gambling career in his future if he persues it.

There’s only three kinds of people in the world…….those that can count, and those that can’t.

If only he could buy himself half a brain with the money.

All two of them?

Love Hattie’s little smirk in the last panel

3?

she’s mulling it over…

Heads I win, tails you lose.

Wilberforce just had to put his two cents in.

Wilby going into banking or teaching. Maybe all three.

so does that mean that there is two pennies or is he planning on giving her both the pennies and the piggy bank. :\

That means you’re putting in your two cents’ worth, Wilberforce!

Tipped your hand there Wilberforce .

I was waiting for her to pull out her hammer and break it open before he said it contained only two cents. Not worth the effort. But two cents sounds about right……

They’re very shiny pennies. All you have to do is guess right.

Attaboy……..

not the sharpest tool in the shed

That’s a hoot! Hattie’s smirk is even better than an eye roll would be. Poor Wilberforce doesn’t have much of an intellectual gene pool to rely on, does he?

He might want to consider offering an even split before he loses both. If he gets a third one, he will take ten years to figure out how to split them in half to share.

She’s gonna get his two cents worth.

Looks like it’s about time for Hattie to start shaving.

Makes me think of the old TV show where Groucho Marx says: "say the secret word and………

Chip off the old loser!

wow, wilber’s doing better than i am…

I’d love to see her guess two pennies, and than have Wilberforce open the bank to show her that he was outsmarting her, because he has more than two.

[Sigh . . . bubble burst. Fantasy gone.]

He is Wilberforce Thornapple, after all, and no doubt the Thornapple doesn’t fall far from the Thornapple tree.

Brutus should be worried.
