The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 15, 2023

In a tennis game would be Brutus 15 – Mother Gargle 0.

Lots of momentum there

Always flapping her gums.

Good one, Brutus!!

Score one for Brutus.

I’m surprised that they haven’t bitten him.

Hilarious! Comic of the week. Perhaps only those of us who are son-in-laws can really understand.

I read about a dozen strips so far today. This is first one that made me laugh out loud. Thank you!

The real questions are, how did you lose them, and where?

Tetanus shot Brutus.

His response left her speechless…momentarily anyway.

Sometimes I forget and leave my partial in the bathroom after brushing my teeth.

The question is, does he have to wash his hands due to touching her teeth, or does she need to disinfect her teeth due to being held in his hand? If it were me, I would not have picked up the teeth unless I had an oven mitt on, and even then would have used a napkin.

must’ve been a good joke she laughed at last. ;)

I once suggested to my dad that he put his teeth in warm water at night because the chattering was keeping me awake.

I, personally, would not carry those fangs around in my bare hand.

The old battle axe appears. Teeth clacking is better than mouth!

Oh, snap! (or is it “clack”?) ☺

Now this is funny….still clacking!

My teeth stay in their container, where they belong.

You’re brave Thorny. I think I would need a full on Hazmat suit to handle HER teeth!

I would have just left them where they were and made her get up off her, uh, chair and go get them. She would have to get up to clean them off and put them in anyway. What will she send him to find next?

hopefully he rinsed them in Kewpie’s dish before returning them

Bwahaha!

Brutus is always ‘skating that line’ with Mother Gargle – this time I believe he won.

Be careful, Brutus… you’re in denture of being bitten!

And they were nagging him the whole time.

If Brutus had been smart, he would have hidden her dentures. Without them she may have kept her mouth shut, at least for this visit.

Nice one Brutus!

Once they are trained they never stop moving. And you must always consider their source. However, the war has now begun…..

Zing! Way to go, Brutus!

It’s the ‘clack of the bat’!

It’s when I hear about those with dentures that I thank God for the teeth I still have, no matter how irregular they are.

Bazinga!

SNORK!! That’s great, Brutus.

Brutus may be The Born Loser but in this exchange, he’s the winner.

jumpin’ jehoshaphat, that woman’s so scary even her teeth are tryin’ to get away from her…

Bingo!

OH!! GOOD ONE BRUTUS!!

He did a good deed — he found them and brought them to her (he could have kept them from her, after all). So he’s entitled to a zinger. And once she has them back in, I’m sure she’ll thank him — and then zing him right back.
