The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for December 13, 2024

Sure, because why should his moneybags have all the good stuff?

At least he’s not insulting Brutus this time.

Now, isn’t that quaint – NOT!!!

/SHEESH\

As avaricious as he is, he’s small potatoes.

How about changing his name to Scrooge.

I like Veeble better. Sounds like Feeble (which was probably the creator’s intent). They can then shorten that to Feeb! (anyone remember that Mary Tyler Moore episode?"

You should Rancid, show the world your greed

All the rap stars do it. Why not?

The Tea Cozy (Multi-)Millionaire!

In the comments sections of some IT news sites people have been doing that for Microsoft for years – but not as a compliment.

$crooge McDuck beat you to it!

I’m surprised Musk hasn’t thought of this.

Along with changing the “S” to “$” he could go international and change the "E"s to “€”.

V€€bl€f€$t€r

Change it to Fester.

Always a good idea to low key your financial situation. Don’t flaunt it. Fly under the radar.

VeebleBoss…

What else huh Brutus ?

Makes sense. In a greedy sort of way. The Love of Money is the root of all evil – 1 Timothy 6:10. Applies to politics also folks 2 Timothy 2:4.

I was thinking more along the lines of an “A” followed by a couple of dollar signs and then something you dig. But this is a family strip!

How about Scrooge?

Of course he would think of that!

He lives and breathes money!

His nickname should be $¢ROOGE, too!

You would, Veeblefester. Why not just shorten your name to Fester?

Ecclesiastes 10$19 money answers all things

well, that would be different at least… maybe you should have your face on a paper dollar instead. :D

How about V€€B£€ƒ€$t€R?

You’re talking to the wrong fellow. There are those infamous for forcing people to spit the dollar signs from their mouths.

Maybe just Fe$ter?

Definitely distinctive. Will definitely also be a very unique signature. I say go for it. Might even want to get an extra large dollar sign tattoo on his chest, symbolical of what is all important to him in his life. He’s not the first and won’t be the last to live that way……

You might want to think about Brian Thompson and Luigi Mangione before you do that.

I wonder if Kei$ha trademarked that? Try it and see if you get sued Veeb$

And be sure to set that dollar sign in a bold font.

I worked with a woman named “Kimberly.” It was always “Kimberly.” I once asked her if she ever went with a nickname. She said “like ‘Kim’?” And I said, “I was thinking of ‘Berly’.” We didn’t talk much after that.

Might I suggest instead of a Dollar sign go with the middle finger

Ok Scrooge McDuck!

Looks like Musk is going to need a pardon from Trump.

Could change it to Fester but I think Charles Addams has that copyrighted.

If he used my nickname for him he could have two dollar signs – Bo$$man.

Worked for Ke$ha

well, do something about it. don’t just let that idea fe$ter…

Next thing he’ll be hawking sneakers, bibles and sperm samples.

I hope the 3 ghosts of Christmas visit him.
