The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for October 15, 2021

When language is vague.

Brutus, I think you need to learn to read between the words.

Morty is wrong!! All wives “understand” their husbands!! It’s the husbands that don’t "understand* their wives!! Just admit defeat and live with it!! Your sanity won’t suffer … in the end!!

/SHMIRK/

The problem was my wife understood me all too well.

That you know of Brutus.

Hardy, har, har, har.

That said, you should consider yourself lucky.

It seems Brutus doesn’t understand Morty either.

At home, Morty speaks only Klingon.

Yeah, I don’t think my wife understands you either.

A comic once said, “A woman wants a man who fulfills all her wants and needs, and a man wants a woman who fulfills his one want and need.”

yup, that would make it hard to understand the person when you never have met. :D

i bet his wife doesn’t understand me, either…

I don’t really understand any of them! But the question was somewhat vague, so Brutus was just following the question directly.

Hee Hee Bru, you said that with a straight face.

And if you want Morty to remain a friend, you won’t introduce them.

Clearly obvious that Brutus is in the dark here – turn on his lights Lord. Funny cartoon today. But true, we are often clueless yet Brutus is still right in an abstract way – Gladys has never met Morty.

Brutus answered correctly?

Be glad; be very glad……

Well, I suppose “Brutus” and “obtuse” almost rhyme…“Brutuse”? “Obtutus”?

I think we can answer the question for you, Morty. Gladys understands Brutus all too well, and often points it out.

Brutus’s wife doesn’t understand him, so I doubt that she would understand you Morty.

Har, har, har!

Well, Morty, it stands to reason that if Gladys has never met you, she wouldn’t understand you.
