The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 09, 2024

And that matters how exactly?

Just a rounding error in her case

It would’ve been more noticeable if she started to act the opposite.

Zing!

When Mother Gargoyle starts to take her new medicine, just how will they KNOW??!!!

;-)

Way to go, Brutus! Love his innocent eye roll at the end.

Looks like they’re all having some tea… Hope it’s some calming tea for mother Gargle !

Brutus lands one.

How will they know the difference? You’re always irritable but I would be too if my hair looked like that!

And it has already made you cranky!

Just one side effect? I just got a new prescription and the side effects warning goes on for 4 pages.

Something to look forward too!

Whoop. There it is.

Cranky because her new medicine is not covered by the insurance.

You old battle axe you don’t have to take anything to be more irritable! Don’t come here on a Monday ruining everyone’s week.

The irritability is not caused by the medicine but the fact that she has to take a new one.

It scares me when the side effects of a cold remedy include “thoughts of suicide, possible death”. I’ll stick with the cold thank you very much

Brutus you are a sly one .

well when she does take it will it be any harder for him to notice much crankiness from her usual jokes about him. :D

OOPS…….

If they are lucky, it will also make her very sleepy. I didn’t know she spent the night there. I would have guessed they would offer to drive her home at the end of the day and stand at the door and make sure she went through it.

Crankier. Not “more cranky”.

I just got a new prescription and it says take with food or fluid every 4 hours. Bartender, Another Beer please. Just joshing.

But you’re still crankier than usual, Mother Gargle.

How can one improve on perfection. She is the most irritable woman in the Cartoon World. Though she still has a way to go to catch up to my deceased mother-in-law……

Brutus needs noise cancelling headphones for Christmas.

The less crap you swallow the better off! I only take BP meds and eye drops for glaucoma! The rest has the worst side effects …years ago I was taking 3 of the strongest antibiotics for months for intestinal problems and it’s left me with aching ligaments and cartilage, my rib cage hurts everyday …not to mention other locations…..☹️☹️☹️

No matter what Ramona takes it’s not going to help adjust her personality and her “crabby Patty” disposition!

I had a she devil for a MIL….so I can relate

The thought of taking new medication is making her irritable.

This is hilarious! She’s warning them she might become irritable, like it’s something new? And I love Brutus saying “more irritable than usual” – like, “you’re always irritable Mum, it’s just a matter of degree.”

Btw is she doing sleepovers now? It’s bad enough she’s there constantly but to wake up in the morning and see her sitting at the breakfast table is no way to wake up on a Monday.

Better get a tranquilizer gun.

I needed that laugh today. Thanks.

Also known as contraindications

How would they know the difference?

Just remember, if irritability lasts more than 4 hours, head for the ED immediately.

ba dum tss

Extra strength irritability, here we go.

those meds are pretty powerful stuff if she’s suffering the side effects before even taking them… ☺

This is before you started? Let me build you a guest house in the backyard, you’ll have lots of space. Flat roof or peaked?

I want to see panel four, where Brutus replies, “I wasn’t suggesting you had.”
