The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 19, 2023

Brutus was in “Montag” mood. No book should be burned.*

Well played, Sir

Vegetarian is an old Indian word for bad hunter…

Under the grate Brutus, under the grate. Where do you cook the burgers?

Yeah Brutus? You just ruined the taste of your meat.

Good call Brutus!

Today’s strip should be called The Born WINNER!!!

And now it’s forever lost.

Found it or bought it? If you found it, go back and hide it a lot better. If you bought it go back and return it and use the money as a down payment to buy sausage, ribs, steak, Brisket, anything that will go with some baked potatoes.

It directions for grilled watermelon and other such abominations. We have lost a book and saved future foods.

Grilled veggies are delicious

I grill a fair number of vegetables. Tonight, I’ll be grilling some yellow squash and maybe some asparagus.

The trouble is, Brutus, piles of paper don’t make good charcoal. Besides, many of the best BBQer’s do veggies on the side. You could’a used that book.

Definitely found a good use for that book. I’m pretty sure he could grill any veggies that need grilling (Corn on the cobb) if the need everi arises. That’s why God made Potato Salad and Coleslaw…..

I don’t usually condone book burning but in this case Brutus made a good decision

Brutus! You aren’t supposed to burn books!

Ya think she would’ve known better by now.

That’s hilarious! Another almost coffee out my nose moment. And in Brutus’s defense Gladys very clearly said the book was for barbecuing!

MWA-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH!!!! That’s great!!

Gladys doesn’t really look the vegetarian, so maybe this what she intended.

Grilled vegetables are great as long as they are accompanied by a nice steak.

Thanks Chip, I got a bursting hysterical laugh out of this one, made my weekend…(It’s perfect, it’s tight, there’s no where to go!) And I keep forgetting to tell you, I love your art…

Love the look on Brutus’ face — LOLOL ♥ I like grilled vegs = the best!

I think Brutus really didn’t see any other use for the book. I am against damaging any book, but his response and confused look to Gladys makes me think he really did expect the book to be grilled.

it’s a vegetarian cookbook- I thought it was illegal to barbecue people even if they are vegetarians. (thanks to The Twilight Zone episode To Serve Man for giving me such a weird take on it)

just out of curiosity, what kind of sauce goes best with that kind of book…?

☺

Go Brutus!

Thornapple’s Dinners Cooking Out (a nod to the similarly titled Michael Symon program).

Good on you Brutus. Got your priorities right.

Well done, Brutus!

Burning a vegan cookbook is all it is good for…unless you are vegan.

I don’t think that’s what she meant that to be used… not that I’m saying is a bad thing mind you. ;)

Burning paper gives the meat an “off” flavor.
