The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for May 16, 2023

$20/lb x 200 lb = $4000. That’s chump change.

How’s that supposed to make him feel good about himself?

Almost like having Mama Gargle right there

It’s all good until you can’t see the scales anymore.

Brutus, just think of yourself as very, very, very well marbled.

Did what I do and never weigh yourself. I have ways to make that scale disappear for good

too bad you’d get eating, the money will have to go to somebody else…

I’d sleep with one eye open, Brutus.

Corn Fed

His wife DOES have a point. It is all in your perspective.

Brutus should respond, Gladys, you are looking at some Prime Beef.

The fat content would be too high – even for the Jeffrey Dahmer restaurant

At least Brutus is alive! The problem with beef tenderloin besides the price, is that the cow doesn’t survive the experience. If I could afford a beef tenderloin, I’d go get one, the cow isn’t using it anymore.

If I want to feel lighter, I just weigh myself in kilograms

Gladys is offering encouragement……..kind of!

Not really a supportive spin on a few extra pounds by the wife. Just grin and bear it and hunker down to lose that extra weight before it becomes permanent…..

What’s she gonna do-eat him?

Time for a physical and take along samples of the deli food to show the doctor.

Ready for the slaughter house. Not such a good perspective.

Brutus says to Gladys, “You know I don’t sleep so well so I have a midnight snack to help me sleep”…

Thorny’s USDA “Prime”.

Take off the slippers and PJs and you can probably lop off a pound or 2. On second thought, leave the jammies on, at least while in view of the readers!

If Brutus were a “Blonde d’Aquitaine” cow (the most expensive meat in the world) it would be valued at €3000 per kilogram.

If Brutus were a “Blonde d’ Aquitaine” cow sold in Paris by Polmard (the most expensive meat in the world) it would be valued at €3000 per kilogram.
