The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 26, 2023

Then she doesn’t gifted Brutus with another red sweater. It’ s an improvement.

Door stop!

With Mother Gargoyle’s fruitcake, will Brutus have to “register” it …. with the local constabulary??!!

/SHMIRK/

Worked at a Wal-Mart, and on the 26th the giftcard system crashed. That made things really fun.

Regift it to the Royal Lady Gargle next year. And I love your new sweater Brutus

You couldn’t even pay anyone to take it off your hands.

Even the house mice won’t eat fruitcake.

Exchange it ?!? I used it to replace the cracked brick over the mantel.

it makes a nice paperweight…

I was going to try a slice but I didn’t want to ruin a band saw blade.

If Mother Gargle made it, perhaps you can use it to patch a pothole Brutus.

I don’t know where all you people get your fruitcake, but the one I make is really good and always eaten.

They tell me that I’m as nutty as one of those.

They don’t take old battle axes back after all these years. Brutus you’re stuck. Yesterday was fun and celebrating. Today you pay big time for it.

Brutus gets a dig in at Ramona !

At least the fruitcake was a change from the red sweater!

My daughter makes a fruitcake that is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven’t seen an actual fruitcake in decades. Is it still a “thing”?

I guess she opted not to shell out for the red sweater that she was looking at the other day. Instead, she’s trying to poison him. Merry Christmas, loving son-in-law.

He’s going to use it when he expands his patio…

It’s the eye of “newt and toe of frog” that gives it that festive nuance.

my wife used to bake them for my father in law. I never ate them but I miss the smell, not having it is another reminder of someone who passed on.

I sometimes make an icebox fruitcake. Don’t turn up you noses just now. It’s scrumptious.And it’s very simple to make. It’s more of a torte than a cake, but still delicious. Of course, if you don’t like a fruitcake that is finger lickin’ good, then you shouldn’t eat it.

i love fruitcake! everyone eats it wrong…my folks used to come to Florida for vacation every year when i was a kid in RI, and we would always make a detour coming home, to Claxton GA and buy Claxton Fruitcakes hot out of the oven, and give them as gifts on Christmas (this was long before you could buy them in stores…like 1964) but that’s the best way to eat them: warmed up a little and a little butter melted on it…has to be warm!

Quit getting Claxtons glorified raisin bread!!! Get REAL fruitcake like Collins or Harry & David and then you won’t want to give it away! You’ll want to hoard it all for yourself!

Dead meat.

Keep the fruitcake, return the nut you’re talking to.

You finally nailed the old witch good Brutus, congratulations.

Atta boy Brutus……..!

Good one. However, be ready for the counter punch…….

Fruitcakes are wonderful.

“Well that’s the gratitude I get” chimes in Ramona, “for all that hard work, even Wilburforce helped me out in making it, you should be more appreciative, it the Christmas season after all.” Brutus then exclaims, “Ramona what did you do to Ramona, who are you?”…

Ah yes. Brutus fires the first shot lol.

BAM! It took over a week but Brutus finally got the old hag back!

For once, Brutus brought the right weapon to the fight.

maybe the animals outside would eat it.

I could be wrong. But, doesn’t Mother Gargle’s hair look similar to a witch’s hat? Just saying.
