The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 11, 2024

Sounds like a plan.

That will, indeed, be too late. You’ll both be shadows of your former selves by the time you get to football season.

Stall as long as you can Brutus!

Is there any reason why that’s not a good idea?

But it’s only 4 PM!

Sure Gladys, as soon as they drop the puck.

For those not familiar with baseball, the joke is ‘halftime’ should really be called the ‘seventh inning stretch’.

with Brutus’ luck, it will go 25 innings and last 8 hours, like that one in 1984

Halftime in baseball? That’s quite a stretch!

Gladys has lucked out. Dinner can be hotdogs with crackerjacks for dessert.

Cue Harry Caray…

Brutus has been snacking through the game anyway…

Today’s baseball is half-time… I watch the selected plays on Youtube… and sometimes I fall asleep anyway :D

Pause it and go eat. Then you’ll have the option of fast forwarding through the commercials when you return, until you get caught up to the live part.

I once thought UConn was a team from Alaska :}

Gladys, have a seven course meal ready for the seventh inning.

It’s on TV … put it on pause or record the game. Brutus ignoring food … that’s a laugh in itself.

Or the 7th inning stretch. We have TV tray stands. Let’s have a semi picnic in the living room.Maybe a blanket on the floor. Un Huh.

Just order pizza and have it delivered and join him Gladys.

Good idea Gladys . Let’s go with that .

You could eat when there’s a break in the action. So, anytime!

If the game’s that important just eat dinner in front of the TV.

Plenty of time during the boring parts.

So we finally find a reason why soccer is better than baseball.

There’s no half time in baseball, unfortunately.

can’tcha bring dinner to the living room and watch tv together. :J

How about a Seventh Inning Snack?

The seventh inning retch.

He starves……

Just serve hot dogs and popcorn…

Baseball games don’t have half time…

guess their content provider doesn’t let them use “pause?”

Hot dog and a beer please.

took me a second actually

7th inning stretch?

This is so funny to me because it hits home. My wife knows as much about sports as Gladys and is always asking malaprop questions. Most recently during last night’s hockey game: “Haven’t they figured out who wins that cup thing yet?”

I prefer the “nineteenth” hole!

In baseball, halftime is the time between two games.

Can it wait until the 7th?

Splain to her Brutus…..

Thank dog for DVRs. We can eat when we want and watch the show later.

brutus could just record the final 6 quarters and watch the game after dinner… ☺

I’m guessing Gladys isn’t much of a sports fan.

When the person who does the cooking says dinner is ready, you eat. Otherwise, you have leftovers out of the fridge.

Psssst, Gladys – try seventh inning stretch.

Kinda reminds me of an old George Carlin skit: Baseball vs Football…funny as h3ll, and so true. To paraphrase: In baseball, you wear a cap; in football, you wear a helmet.In baseball, you make an error…oopsie! In football, you receive a penalty.In baseball, you there is no time limit, the game could go on forever! In football, it is rigidly timed and it will end even if we have to go with sudden death.In baseball, there’s the 7th inning stretch; in football, there’s the 2 minute warning.Just to list a few.
