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

The curtain-raiser is not dead.

hmmm…

wonder what the rest of the band is up to

Why even bother with the review? Thorny already knows what Chiefey’s going to give him-a failing grade!!! ;P

I would hate to work for that guy.

Fun for who? You?

Longest drum solo ever!

It’s gunna end up sounding like Wipe Out!

Brutus thought that if he did not perform, there would be no review.

Cruel, man, cruel, there Chief. He evidently has way too much money to hire a drummer for a performance review. I guess, after the review, the drummer could stick around to provide drumming to count money by. Pa-dump.

From the looks of all the bags of money on the floor next to the desk, it appears Brutus’ performance isn’t anywhere as bad as the Chief is going to say it is. Looks like business had a very good quarter, but Chief won’t admit it. That might have his employees believing they are deserving a pay raise.

The drummer’s hair looks like a wig.

Listen to the Band!

Veeblefester’s not so subtle schadenfreude appears once again.

dramatic much… I likes it. Not sure if that’s a good or a bad thing though… :\

ba dum tss

That’s a good indication that Brutus won’t be getting a raise.

There’s an app for that.

Ouch, that is cold!

“Looks like bonus time too”, thinks Brutus, “look at all that cash”…

Brutus replies, “That’s a very great idea boss, accentuating the positive that way.”

Ha HA! As someone who gives reviews… That actually Would be Funn!

Thornapple may not reach boss’s idea of brains, but he is a loyal and constant worker and at the job EVERY day. Those should be pluses.

Prefer chief, that you punctuate each point by giving me a money bag. Brutus this review would be over before it’s started.

Brutus is good for office morale because he absorbs most of Veeblefester verbal abuse.

Not only Rockin’Ravers, Happy Anniversary to Brutus and Gladys!And to Len Barker!

Oh wonderful. Veebs now thinks she has schtick. Next stop the Catskills and he changes his name to Shecky. Which would get him out of the office!

Fire the drummer and give his pay to Brutus.

And a bag of money????

This isn’t a review. It’s a game show!

So, I’m guessing the Chief was too cheap to spring for Jughead Jones of The Archies.
