The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for September 07, 2022

So, was Brutus supposed to be her “starter husband”?

She’s clearly a downer

And Mother Gargoyle provides the – way downs!!!

/SHEESH/

She runs the bills up he pays the bills down

Then is Gladys the one who brings money at home.

Gladys is the “it” girl. She got the “it” from Mother Gargle.

So not true. You can’t go any lower than inviting your mother.

It’s as though she is a Dunning-Kruger wife. She’s so bad at it she has no metric to understand how useless she is.

Well, that wasn’t nice.

Ups and downs, sounds like drug dealers talking.

From married bliss to married blisters.

you sure it ain’t backwards or something with your mom somewhere in the mix.

Clearly teasing… If she believed that, she’d be down.

I think the hapless Brutus is referring to the vicissitudes of life and Gladys refers to how she’s lifted him up, keeping him in the game as it were. My wife of 45 years has certainly done that for me.

She should have married Mr. Bill.

HA!! Gladys zapped him again! Her mother sure taught her well! LOL!!

Gladys should listen less to her mother. I expected better from Gladys. Some thoughts should stay put as thoughts. (I am one who thinks out loud, so I sadly know the difference.)

ba dum tss

I think most problems in a marriage are because of money? Second is kids.

Sadly, poor old Brutus Thornapple doesn’t have the mental height to ride the roller coaster. That’s why he’s always on the Merry Go Round.

She is quick as a whip. Gotcha Brutus!

I’d get a divorce if my wife said that…

Like many men (me included), Brutus married better than his wife did!

Ups and downs. Tops and bottoms. Strange and charmed?

She hit the husband Lotto of life catching Brutus and he got the boobie prize. Yet Brutus would say that he was the lucky one, though not maybe at this exact moment….

Uh……..

Poor Brutus. When Gladys says she’s “going home to mother”, she just walks to another room… ☺

OK, let’s talk about your cooking.

Well I doubt that Gladys’ comment had much of a uplifting effect on Brutus.

Not nice, Gladys.

♪ what a long strange trip it’s been… ☺

What can you expect with that Gargle influence?

That’s a point for Gladys. Wonder where the zinger scoreboard stands today?
