The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 28, 2021

That’s the best offer he’s had all day…..

Not to be sarcastic about it, but it seems to me to be rather rude to tell a person what you will or won’t tolerate in their home while you are a freeloader, er guest there.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

I seriously doubt that she can stay silent.

Brutus, you forgot to say thank you.

Love his smile in the final panel.

There is no downside to that.

If you reach that point when staying with relatives, it’s time to get a hotel room.

And the downside of this is…..???? Thank you, Mother Gargoyle!!

/SHMIRK/

“Oh how happy you have made me, oh how happy you have made me”

Apparently he’s not always a loser!

Winner! You should have thought of that a long time ago Brutus! ;-)

“Can I have that in writing, Helmet-Hair?”

Right back at you.

How nice, she came bearing gifts.

Brutus, now you know you’re being set up.

you just made his day.

Get that in writing!

Ernie K Doe song Mother-in-law

If only…

Wow. That’s the nicest gift moma has ever given to Brutus.

Where are the rays of sunlight raining from above and the choir singing ‘Awww’ in the background? Tis a glorious day in the Thrornapple household.

Her visit? More like an infestation.

That smile is worth 1000 words.

Who let her in?

Oh you sly dog Brutus…..a smile of relief!

Today, Brutus, you’re the hammer! ⚒️

See. There is a God and He does answer prayers……

HAPPY HAPPY – MADE MY DAY

She “won” the battle, but Brutus won the war.

Thumbs up Thorny

Finally!

Dang, if he knew that would work, he’d have done long time ago. But I wonder how long it will work before she catches on.

Woohoo! That worked

Quick write that rude sarcasm down so you don’t forget it!

I hope Brutus didn’t forget what he said that really set her off, because it will be worth remembering for future use.

Brutus go buy some lottery tickets!

Is that all it takes? Geez!

It worked

Brutus’ lucky day!!!

“Is that a promise or a threat?”

“Silence is golden…”

Win!!!

oh no please not that no

AHH! Finally, relief!
