The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 29, 2020

What about frozen green beans?

Ah! The knee. Now it makes sense. For a minute there I was wondering why Uncle Ted would need a vasectomy at his age.

As a snotty teenager, my old friend used to irritate his parents at the dinner table using his most annoying Bob Dylan imitation “Pass the peeeas, pleeease.”

Long time ago I would just knock back a dozen beers. No pain. Time and I have both changed.

Listen to Dad. For a quick temporary fix, frozen vegetable bags work pretty good. However, for the long term, an ice pack is better as vegetables thaw too quick. Be a good son and get an ice pack.It will make you a winner…..

Put some ice cubes in a plastic bag, wrap the bag in a towel and wallah. It ain’t rocket science.

At my age I knew what was talking about in panel 1.

When I had rotator cuff surgery, they told me to use a bag of frozen peas wrapped in a towel.

You use what you have

The granularity of peas is great for that use. Unlike ice, when they warm up you can refreeze them and retain the granularity.

After you use the same bag 2-3 times, and the peas thaw and refreeze repeatedly, then the bag starts to leak. Found this out when I had a hip replacement.
