The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 12, 2023

Two straight days of Hurricane Hattie? I think that’s a sign of the Apocalypse or something.

I define myself as “differently thin”.

[Eric Cartman from SouthPark] I’m not fat, I’m big boned! :-D

He lost that extra twenty he was carrying last week?

He really is a LOSER

All he really wants to lose is you.

Endophoric

He still fits in to his prom suit, only it’s his outfit.

It’s nice that Brutus can still afford something. Like losing 20 pounds.

You’re looking in the mirror Hattie girl.

Hurricane Hattie pushing the plump also. Or is that tubby?

The camera adds 10 pounds—- How many cameras were on you? From Friends

We’re just “under-tall”.

ya know what they say, if it ain’t broke, why fix it. :D

the only suit from Brutus’s youth he can still wear is his BIRTHDAY SUIT

Just wait Hurricane, someday someone will be asking you the same snide sarcastic question(s).

Her comments in last panel almost brought Brutus to his knees!

I’m fluffy.

I’m impressed. Most men can’t make that claim at his age, I know that I can’t, though I can wear my Army uniform comfortably keeping my weight at that level. While he may have been “pleasingly plump” in high school, he was charming enough to find a “good” wife and have a happy, albeit interesting, marriage. He just got his middle aged plumpness earlier than most…..

Fortunately the style back then was.. baggy and loose

No, Peppermint Hattie! His grandma bought him his first suit to last him a lifetime…

No-one is ever FAT…. they are just too short for their weight. If these people were 14 feet tall they would be anorexic. By the way, her thighs look a little thick.

I feel ya Brutus. Hard to keep it off thees days! But high school prom suit? Not only could I not fit in one of those suits, I wouldn’t be caught dead in it! Powder blue tuxedo? What the heck were we doing?!?

How does she keep getting into the house? Does Gladys let her in or does she have a key?

He really still has his prom suit or is he just wanting to say it would still fit? I had to make my own dress – none were small enough plus I was able to design it myself, too. I wish I had kept it. Wearing petite clothes is difficult when shopping. We get to choose about 10% of the options for average height women. The clothes are way, way back in a far corner someplace. So few of them to choose from.

Hattie’s perceptiveness is amazing.

Brutus, you know that you can’t rest easy when Harriet is around…

I was at the doctor’s last Monday and weighed in 22 pounds less than the last time. My only regret now is that I gave away those slimmer trousers when I despaired of ever getting back to that size. :(

Hey Bru, I know you are a nice guy and all, but sometimes wouldn’t you like to just reach out and ….. well, never mind. Got to go. Have a great Sunday.

I just had a “shamrock shake” with a kick! Bailey’s has Vanilla Mint Shake for a limited time. Just bought some today and tried it. Yummy!

Wait till her turn.

I love the Shamrock Shake and look forward to it every year.

i’m guessing that shamrocks taste something like kale…

“Husky” was the go to word, when I was a youngster.

I’m not fat. I’ve rounded out with maturity.

I’ve heard the weight gain that afflicts some people with age as them being “generous.”

I had one of those Shamrock Shakes last March and thought it was pretty good. I’m not saying there was a cause-and-effect relationship in play but shortly after I had that shake, I developed a urinary tract infection.
