The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 21, 2024

.No bags of money this time. Maybe they are in the other side of the desk.

Renatus Profuturus Frigeridus, since the cartoon starts from Brutus’ knees up, the bags of money are out of sight.

There’s really nothing to see here.

He is just hoping the boss doesn’t know what procrastinating means either.

“I’ll start by joining the Procrastinators’ Club!”

From Annie: “Tomorrow, tomorrow! I’ll do it tomorrow! It’s only a daaaaaay a-waaaaay!”

Brutus ‘exceeds expectations’ for procrastinating…

Procrastination isn’t always bad. There have been many angry emails I have procrastinated sending over the years. And after calming down I found a better solution.

Funny choice of words Brutus .

“Never put off until tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow just as well” Mark Twain

adding more salt to the wound huh Brutus. :J

Boss: And.. how long must I wait, Thornapple? ☺️

I don’t think that was what the Chief wanted to hear, Brutus. He would have preferred a “Sir, Yes, Sir!”.

Hop to it Brutus or the Easter Bunny might not visit you. No chocolate Bunny Ears to gobble.

I suppose Brutus must have something to protect him from the ax. He just went from work immediately to later, and he didn’t get fired. I know Brutus has longevity with the company, but there must be something else. Maybe Brutus knows where the bodies are buried, or there just aren’t enough people around to market tea covies.

That’s all that he can do. The rest will be History…..

Put it off as long as you can Brutus. If nothing else it will raise Veeblefester’s blood pressure.

As Captain (played by Strother Martin) famously said in Cool Hand Luke, “ what we’ve got here is a failure to communicate.“

Oh, that can’t be true………really?

Starting tomorrow. Of course tomorrow never comes.

Let’s forget about tomorrow, ’cause tomorrow never comes.

Promises, promises. Sorry Brutus, if Veeblefester is impatient or goes blind, I don’t think you’ll be successful. Look on the bright side; if you need good advice, go ask Charlie Brown about his kite or football game!

Much like Scarlett O’Hara, Brutus will worry about that tomorrow.
