The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 06, 2024

She’s full of prunes.

You didn’t expect her to say anything positive did you? That old hag? Hahahahahahahahahah!

As a witch she has not the memory to remember her family tree because she’s, at least, 2,000 years old.

She considers you the “sap” in the family tree.

Does anyone know a good arborist?

Was she stirring a large cast iron pot over a small camp fire with a paddle when she told you this? Did she ask you to go collect frogs and newts? Didn’t she have some family back in Salem Mass.?

He was probably pruned shortly after birth.

And Brutus says, “well, one thing your mom has that’s better than mine are in-laws”

she’s out of her tree…

Gene pool could use a shot of chlorine too.

Poor Brutus’s family sounds sort of like mine. I don’t have a family tree per se, it’s mostly ground cover.

well, at least she didn’t cut you down

probable because she keeps adding it from her own tree… :}

Brutus run if you see Mother Gargle with a chain saw.

“Needs pruning”? Was she talking about her hair??

Why would Mama Gargle know anything about Brutus’ family tree. As she considers herself to be so superior, I’d expect her tree to be the only one in the forest.

Ouch!

Read the small print Wilberforce: “The account you have heard represents the opinion of the speaker only and she is a sour and deranged old bat. They do not represent the opinions of the cartoonist, syndicator or readers. Nor do they necessarily represent truth or sanity. Any relation to actual persons living or dead is purely coincidental.”

Probably referring to the bloomin’ idiots.

She doesn’t have a tree. She is a weed….not the good kind either.

My wife inherited the huge family Bible with the family tree written on the blank pages. Her grandmother had blacked out “undesirable” members using s Sharpie.

I can picture the usual coffee puff over Brutus’ head, right under his comment. Just letting off a little steam.

The local garden club considers Mother G a nuisance plant.
