The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 17, 2022

No good deed goes unpunished

Well, you tried Brutus!!

/SHMIRK/

Sometimes even a winner is a loser.

Brutus just can’t win.

Whichever way you move you are wrong, Brutus.

Darned if you do darned if you don’t/

My wife has tried every goofy fad over the years, from tight Orphan Annie curls, to Phyllis Diller-style chaos. So yeah. I notice.

What Brutus should say to get out of the faux pas; “I meant, your hair looks fabulous when comparing to the hair-do your mother has gotten!”

I never have this problem. Any time a woman changes her hair style or colour i don’t recognise them. It usually takes me a couple of days to realise it is the same person. Which come to think of it might be why my late wife thought I was a cheater since it took me a couple days to recognise every time she got her hair done.

As Chief Inspector Clouseau would say…. “Merrrrrrrrde…..”

Can’t win for losing

Do to technical difficulties, her hairdo didn’t happen. Better luck next time Brutus.

Yeah, how?

then where was she for 3 hours?

geese, sorry for speaking with thinking… actually, my brother does that a little too often.

Well, the strip is called The Born Loser for a reason.

Because you always use the same style, perhaps.

Give it a lie Brutus. Next time fake a nap.

Here’s where he can truly say, “because I am the Born Loser and I’m staying on brand.”

As Norm of Cheers Fame so thoughtfully observed: Women, can’t live with em…………….Pass the beer nuts.

Hmmmm, actually Dear, I was just kidding? Heh, heh!

Perhaps he should have first asked about her visit Nadean.

Because he can never tell when you do get you hair done.

My ex always said exactly the same thing when I had my hair done. “It will grow back.” My hair was very long. Of course, I had to ask his opinion first to get the neutral comment. I eventually learned to just say nothing when my hair was done, which was exactly what he wanted anyway. I have never expected anyone I dated since to notice any hair style changes and don’t ask for an opinion.

It’s just hard to improve on perfection my Love……

Sounds like the car needs work.

my wife finally got tired of having to make chit chat with hairdressers while receiving a bad cut and just cut her hair short (a few cm). she’s received many compliments over the years, even from total strangers in the supermarket (which can be a bit weird…), and keeps repeating ruefully that she wishes she’d thought of it earlier…

Maybe Brutus should have said, “That’s a good look for you, Gladys.”

HA!!!!!

Poor Brutus!
