The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for September 01, 2023

“Supper’s ready?” “There’s scrambled eggs.” I challengeyou to guess where these two quotes come from. It’s easy for us boomers.

Have any bread? Make french toast at least.

Brutus I’m losing all respect for you. Never get tired of bacon.

Haven’t had bacon in years, bought some, cooked some, hated it, tomorrow is trash day. Hope the bear doesn’t smell it and attack my bear resistant trash receptical. Sorry for the comma’s

Not eggxactly the change he had in mind.

Gladys should at least keep a few cans of Vienna sausage in the cupboard. They’re cheap and easy to serve hot or cold. Just wash off the slime they’re in under the faucet.

I don’t think I could get tired of bacon. But I’d like fried potatoes (hash browns) with the bacon and eggs.

Out of eggs or bacon or bread, okay. No coffee, no workie.

I sometimes like beans with my eggs and sausages and or bacon.

Love breakfast food for dinner.

Ok then Brutus, would you care for eggs with a side of bacon? In the last panel Gladys, with the look on her face and her snarky reply, seems to be glad they are out of bacon.

I had catfish and eggs recently for breakfast, I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

How about spam spam spam eggs sausage and spam.

If we had ham, we’d have ham and eggs…if we had eggs

Don’t think of it as monotony Brutus, think of it as consistency. Whether or not Gladys’ cooking is good or bad is another question.

In a stunning reversal, today’s breakfast will be eggs and bacon.

great, you only get half of what you got tired of.

Hey, Gladys, sprinkle some Bacon bits over the eggs so Brutus won’t experience withdrawal pains.

And there you have it. Gladys always pleases!

Give me a double order of rasher of Bacon, 4 fried eggs and grits. Heaven. And I love Sausage gravy, better known as SOS to all ya military vets. SOS = **it on Shingle (toast)

One of our favorites is hamburger & scrambled eggs. The burger is crumbled and fried with chopped onion and a pinch of garlic. Then add eggs and scramble.

I’m sorry but the concepts of too much bacon and tired of bacon just don’t register with me! Brutus Brutus Brutus go back to bed – you can’t be well my friend!!!

Jules… "Pigs are filthy animals, I don’t eat filthy animals. Vincent… “Yeah, but Bacon tastes Gooood.”

Brutus you would complain if your face were on fire.

Sort of different. Could make an egg scramble with leftover meat and stuff in the frig and with onions, mushrooms. She could then spice it all up and. Oh I forgot who I was talking about there for a moment. She could give you a couple of boiled eggs for something different. I assume that she can boil water……

I love bacon!

Maybe add some toast. Brutus might not have even noticed the difference if Gladys hadn’t mentioned it.

Chip, great subtle facial nuances in your art, last frame, love it. Cute libretto…

One should never run out of bacon! I use jalapeño bacon on pizzas and baked potatoes, and it makes them taste great.

it’s omelette time!

I’m with Brutus. No matter how much I like any given food, it would be tiresome to eat it every day.

I wonder if Brutus is a fan of the 3rd season M*A*S*H episode, Adam’s Ribs. That’s the one where Hawkeye goes off on a rant after the mess tent offers liver or fish for 11 straight days.

Gladys keeps eggin him on!
