The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 14, 2024

An ice pack should help with pain.

If “foot in the door” means what I read on the web (Foot-in-the-door technique is a compliance tactic that aims at getting a person to agree to a large request by having them agree to a modest request first. This technique works by creating a connection between the person asking for a request and the person that is being asked.) the answer is: “No!”

That’s awful, Gladys. Truly awful.

This reminds me of a Frank and Ernest cartoon.

Brutus could put his foot somewhere, but it would just hurt it worse.

If he could walk in it obviously wasn’t an emergency.

Groan

Brutus is getting off easy. If he didn’t have a pain in his foot he’d have to deal with the pain of doing chores.

My MIL used to say “I can’t do that, I have a bone in my leg”

Ha ha. Only Gladys would make a lame joke like that after a long Sunday setup. You know who wouldn’t? Chip Sansom.

Go Brutus! Our hero is quick to capitalize on an injured foot. It allows him to be at ease and nap as part of the recovery process.

yes… and they slammed it shut cause they got tired of waiting for him to walk in. :}

Gladys “Henny Youngman” Thornapple .

cue rimshot!

Thank you Henny Youngman…..

ARGGGGG. (rolling my eyes) was pretty good though.

If he had, they would have slammed the door on his foot and it would be in even worse shape.

That’s a low blow Glady’s (and a darn good one). Would Brutus would skate his Husbandly man of the home duties, on just one foot? Call a handy man. That 1800 dollar quote just might get Brutus “Hopping” to it.

She wise-galed you, Brutus lol

And if he did get an appointment he probably would’ve gotten the boot.

(Rimshot!). She’ll be here all week folks – don’t forget to tip your waiter!

Won’t be so funny when it’s a broken bone that goes unset and heals incorrectly or worse.

Be careful which foot Dr. you see- – some just want to cut your leg off!

Good one, Gladys!! LOL

He got his socks on – it can’t be too bad.

Try getting it in edgewise.

again brutus has put his foot in it… ☺

Not funny, but funny!
