The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 25, 2024

So no compensation for the ticket taken?

You had to make it more dramatic, Brutus. Jake Elwood didn’t teach you anything?

The misfortunes of others always make Veeblefester feel better.

Brutus is talking to a Stuffed Turkey.

Brutus will need to stay overtime at work now so he can pay off that ticket !

Congrats Brutus P. Thornapple, I see you now make quilted bicycle cosies. According to The dinette Set comic. You’ll make 10s’ of dollars

Thorny has a ticket to ride, and Veeblefester doesn’t care.

What a nice way to start a week of giving thanks Brutus. A 2-for-1, for the cop and Veeblefester.

Wait until you see your parking ticket!

But did he really get a speeding ticket?

Brutus works the Chief very well…

Surprised he didn’t get a flat tire

The cost of the ticket just happens to match how much Veeblefester is going to dun Brutus for being late. A twofer one steal.

I kind-of like the Boss’ Bah Grateful attitude. Bah Grateful

“ I ran out of gas. I… I had a flat tire. I didn’t have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn’t come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locus. It wasn’t my fault. I swear to god!” (I know I used this same quote last week, but it’s applicable)

If he hadn’t got the speeding ticket, he might have made it on time.

You touched his heart Brutus .

I think you made his day.

he sure does enjoy seeing his employee’s suffer doesn’t he… or just from him. :j

Bossman looks way too pleased.

Chief is showing a bit of compassion….not! Lol

At least Brutus is honest with you, Veeblefester!

And to think it’s only Monday. Hopefully Brutus will get Thanksgiving off

Usually cops wait until after you get off work to give you tickets. How nice of them

Others misfortune makes the chief happy……..that is mighty low!

Late for work, speeding ticket, dressing down by the Boss. Add to it a home cooked dinner by Gladys and you have a typical Monday for the Born Loser.

If you look up “schadenfreude” in the OED they’ll have a picture of Rancid Veeblefester.

More bad news, he’s gonna miss a day of work going to traffic court.

Creep.

Hey, be cool, chief. He risked a ticket to get to work.

Schadenfreude: Delight in another person’s misfortune. Somehow, it doesn’t surprise me that Veebs is exhibiting it here.

Getting the boss to smile and feel happy over your misfortune is Lemonade from the lemons of life. Expensive lemonade, but it did make him smile…..
