The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 18, 2022

Qualis pater, talis filius.. And the daily frolic drama goes on.

A chip off the old block!

At least Brutus gets paid to run on his hamster wheel!

When I was working at Amex, I was hanging out with one of the security guys while on break. As I was leaving to go back, I said, “Back to the salt mine.” He replied, “No, because a salt mine actually produces something.”

One day closer to the glue factory…..

Don’t you just love it when your father is so inspirational and admirable, and he makes you believe you are special and can grow up to become the president of the USA?

The circle of Brutus’ life.

And the wheels in the cage go round and round.

♫♪

And as he hung up his coat, it occurred to him

He’d grow up just like him

His boy is just like him

♪♫

(with apologies to Harry and Sandy Chapin)

I live in a dog eat dog world, and someone keeps giving me raw steaks to wear.

Fun flies when you’re doing time

did the wheel broke off the wall when you rode on it or are you just sore from running on it? :D

And, actually you guys, those are the good days.

A ‘Chip’ off the old Thornapple tree. (Somebody was going to say it.)

School preparing young ones for the work force.

Brutus and Wilberforce just two little hamsters in a big ole Hamster cage of life. Neither can get past the wheel an on to the reward.

At least it’s not your turn in the barrel…

Brutus needs to exude a more positive attitude for work. Maybe say “Just another day in the gilded hamster cage”, or maybe, “A great day in the ferret suite” might work.

Usually, I have heard the expression regarding being on the hamster wheel rather than in the cage. Poor Brutus. He could at least be bored to death from monotony and not locked up.

In Wilberforce’s case it was probably his turn to clean out the class hamster cage.

All these days on the hamster wheel hasn’t done much for his physique.

I’m sure that his hamster cage was much more fun than yours….

hamsters lives matter too!
