The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 02, 2024

Pussably the worst rebrand ever

Thornapple. Brutus Thornapple.

“Coffee Galore” because Go Comics ban the real name of the character (P****y)?

If she’d been a Bond Girl, they wouldn’t have made anymore Bond movies.

This is very funny, Brutus P!

She looks more like Oddjob.

With Bailey’s and Jameson’s. My favorite breakfast drink.

I bet he’s the most famous alcoholic in fictional history. That doesn’t mean her the only one because I can name others. There’s Otis from The Andy Griffith Show and Sue Ellen from Dallas and Gary Euwing from Knots Landing. Darren Stephens and his boss from Bewitched did their share of drinking too, and their wives probably drank as well.

Now tell Brutus to start on the odd jobs around the house, Gladys.

Boo!

Can Brutus flip her into the hay?

Gladys… the Gold Bond girl!

I’ve seen Fort Knox depository from fairly close. One hole of the golf course used to be within a couple hundred yards of it.

My favorite Bond girl was Winterspring Summerfall, though the Galore girl was a close second.

Now the visual contrast Gladys with Honor Blackman is stark and disconcerting.

Make me wonder if Mr. Sansom recently watched Goldfinger.

Attagirl Gladys…….

Kissy Suziki, Octopussy, Penelope Smallbone, Honey Rider, Dr. Molly Warmflash, Bibi Dahl, Bambi, Thumper, Strawberry Fields, Holly Goodhead, Peaceful Fountains of Desire, Mary Goodnight, Jenny Flex, Plenty O’Toole, Chew Mee, and my favorite, Xenia Onatopp…

I could use some coffee galore this morning…

Coffee!? where’s the pot, me likey coffee! :g

And almost all the Stars of Perry Mason died due to Cigarettes. Happy trails to you.

Coffee galore? That’s silly. The woman’s name in the movie was uh, uh, never mind.

I love that nickname for yourself, Gladys! I bet you’d be a sensational Bond girl!

Good one Gladys! Now let’s see you adopt the sexy slinky manner of a true Bond girl! Brutus can only hope!

good one

stirred, not shaken

tRumps favorite Bond girl was P-u-s-s-y Galore.

Honor Blackman! That was her name!

The look on Brutus’s face in the last panel when he realizes what they’re going to do at night.

I’m in my 50’s, and have never seen a “Bond” film. However, I have seen the “Austin Powers” parody comedy films. They got even funnier when I found out they were parodying Bond films.

James Bond was my hero when I was a young man. While I’m not a martini man, I liked his style and there was never a bad situation that he couldn’t get himself out of. That is a trait that he and I do share. AND if Gladys wants to emulate Galore, SALUD to Brutus……

Sunday morning breakfast together, a pleasant recap of their Saturday night movie date, bonding over a new shared interest, some gentle humor from Gladys, and not a zinger (or mother-in-law) in sight! What a delightful Sunday strip!

And if Brutus and Gladys are like me and my wife, they’ll be further indulging this new mutual interest. If their local theater isn’t doing a Bond film festival, they can find the movies on various cable channels and streaming services.

Do I spy a percolator there?!? My parents had one of those in the 70’s.

My dear Lord! Lol

A bit more PC than the actual characters name!

License to Brew

Cute one, Gladys!! Nice pick!!

I have read many of the James Bond books. They were much like the movies, generally speaking.

I like the original galore in Octopussy better.

Mother Gargoyle would be a perfect Bond villain…could even use her actual name.

Bewildered.
