The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 21, 2022

Poor Brutus. Not a born loser in this case.

I’d say he was sleep snacking.

It was a night gluttony.

Remember kids, make healthy choices… in your dreams!

With the Swedish chef.

Smörgåsbord – a buffet for snooty people.

Get a drink of water? A pint’s a pound the world around.

That same thing happened to me once many years ago. And there is a perfect scientific explanation. And no I didn’t sleepwalk for a midnight snack. The explanation was, in my college days I slept on a waterbed, and during the night the bed sprung a leak. In the morning when I weighed myself my pajamas were soaked with 2 pounds of water! (Wet clothes are heavier than dry clothes.)

Gaining mass via the quantum foam? John Wheeler would be proud!

maybe my family should stop doing that too… myself included. :}

Science/physics does not have all the answers.. and this phenomenon has stymied the best.

Check for his pillow. You know because of that eating a giant marshmallow dream.

He might be on diuretics that he takes in the morning. Its possible due to his weight and mama that he has high blood pressure. So the pills would wear off somewhat overnight, perhaps allowing him to retain some fluid overnight? Just a guess. Maybe he just needs a new Born Winner scale.

She made him smile…again!

Guess you better not sleep any more.

Sounds good. Course, along with that suit is all the junk needed during the day.

Well, one thing sure Brutus, those two pounds aren’t muscle.

I hope he left a tip!

I still like how the wisp of steam from the coffee cup turns into a puff when the strip gets to the punch line!

More like a nightmare if that really happened. More than likely, he misread either the before or after numbers. However, the scale being broken or needing new batteries. Or he could have been sleep eating …

sounds like he had sweet dreams…

I like that she replied with a humorous quip, not a zinger. He seems to like it too, judging by his smile.
