The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 14, 2022

If Veeblefester was in the army, he’d get fraged.

Your good news are my bad news.

Brutus should threaten to quit and get a job at another Tea Cozy company … oh wait, there aren’t any!

The great resignation seems to have bypassed that place.

By jingo? That’s something you rarely hear spoken anymore these days. I don’t even know what a jingo is. Is a jingo some night creature that could eat your baby?

I also have some good news Boss. I won’t be coming in anymore. I’ll be keeping my $87.50 in gas and tolls. It seems it will take a lot longer to go broke sitting at home instead of coming in.

“By Jingo”?Really?

depends on who the good news is for.

Brutus lives one heartache after another. His life is like a Bonnie Tyler song – It’s A Heartache,nothing but a heartache, Hits you when it’s too lateHits you when you’re down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEOl38y8Nj8

A look is worth a thousand words. Last panel!

Good news for HIM!

Brutus, if you want to get a raise from Veeblefester, you’re gonna have to wait…until pigs learn to fly, that is.

Too bad, bossman, our Brutus just lost his incentive to work harder. Bossy assumes just having the job is enough, but eventually, even the worm turns.

Watch out, Rancid, or Brutus will go all Django on your Jingo… ☺

I would like to see the original interview Brutus had for this job. Had he no clue?

Reminds me of a story. One man’s treasure is another man’s trash.

Good news is in the ear of the beholder…

The 3 different expressions on Brutus’ face are priceless! Nice work Chip!!

There’s still good news, you’re still employed. Well, not really.

After this scene, I’m sure Veeblefester went out for a drink with his friend J.C. Dithers, so they could commiserate with each other over the less-than-stellar folks they employ. Of course Brutus and Dagwood, for all the abuse they have to take, are the stars of their respective comic strips, while their bosses are just supporting players. So there!

I wouldn’t know….

SOUNDS FAMILIAR??
