The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 24, 2022

Go home.

Once AGAIN, Mother Gargoyle “unleashes” her wit&wisdom on poor Brutus!!!

/SHEESH/

Or she can call you and keep you up all night.

When she can’t sleep, she gets out her cauldron and whips up a sleeping potion.

Gargoyle, that’s a good way to start.

She married him because he was willing to provide her room and bored.

It’s like watching the testing of Job.

I see a transcription error: it says “ha!” but should have read “cackle!”

WHOOAA!! Low blow!

Being witty is a matter of opinion. Brutus says he’s witty, Mother G says he’s half right.

but his words can’t hop over the fence. it’ll probable just burst through it. :D

She could stop talking to him, and have one less thing to complain about, but then she would just find another. His patience amazes me.

Brutus is at least, however maladroitly, standing up for himself and Gladys. He might be secretly wishing she’d get struck by lightning or a runaway freight train…

And I suppose Mama is the alarm clock.

Brutus: The only time she can’t sleep is when she has nightmares about you..he..he..he!

Brutus just never learns. Keep stum ole boy. You are just a very dull cheap razor, In Mother Gargle’s eyes. Silence is often golden. Remember, you married her very best.

To paraphrase a very famous quote, “Who is the fool? The fool or the person arguing with the fool”. You can never change Mother Gargoyle. She will never accept you as a righteous Son-in-law. So don’t try to do anything other than peacefully co exist and just walk away when she does her trash talk. However, then a large reason why we follow Brutus would cease to exist. So keep up the good fight with the knowledge that it will end when one of the parties dies. However, comics can go on forever and Brutus’s fight is our eternal fight of good vs evil. So don’t curse the darkness, keep thatt candle of hope lit for us all …

Only Brutus Thornapple would deserve a mother in law like Ramona Gargle.

Ever hear your own voice Mother Gargoyle???

What a mean-spirited hag. That hair looks like the hat the evil witch wore in Wizard of Oz….only she comes by it naturally. Bet her monkeys are nearby.

Is there a reason she intentionally arranges her hair to be in the form an evil witch’s hat?

I am sure Brutus keeps Gladys in stitches with his wit, but I think the stitches would be better applied to Mother Gargle’s mouth.

Rude woman!

She’s gone, and if Gladys leaves to, that would be her choice.

And uses your photo to scare rodents away.

I always loved how her hair looks like a witch’s hat.
