The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 06, 2025

That one moment where Chief is wrong and actually admits it.

Fire the headhunter agency, if he uses one.

You made out Rancid, cheap labor…just don’t give him complicated accounts

On the good side, when you’re at rock bottom, UP is the only direction you can go.

Much less.

The boss doesn’t want workers who are too good, because he’d have to pay them more so they don’t quit and go work for a competitor.

Is the boss related to Mother Gargoyle?

Brutus has more, just don’t meet his eyes!

And the longer you know Brutus there’s less and less.

Chief giving a pep talk…

Is it just me but looks like what met Chief’s eye is a squashed fly bug collided onto the Chief’s glasses. A life lesson for glasses wearers, Slow down, don’t race through life so fast. The bugs can avoid crashing into your glasses. At least keep your mouth closed.

More is less.

Brutus in the eye of the beholder.

“His finest hour lasted a minute and a half.” Phyllis Diller

You really know how to build character by downing your employees.

Unnecessarily cruel, Veeblefester.

Just had to ask didn’t you Brutus ?

aww, but there really is more to him then meets the eye… it’s just hard to find it cause he’s so round. :D

“There’s actually less”? Did he lose weight?

Every company has a whipping boy. Guess who Rancid picks on.

If he was not kidding Brutus, an arm around a guy and a joke like that would have been a very offensive gesture. This actually shows how much he really does care for and appreciates Brutus. I kid guys myself and a few women too that are friends. I NEVER kid someone that l don’t like. And if someone approached me that l distrusted in a lije manner, l would check his/her hands for knives before they got close…..

Less is more ??

Since he’s been on that diet, he’s half the man he used to be

But you met his expectations as a whipping boy.

Wow. The Chief admitted being wrong!

ba dum tss

Brutus sadly makes the Bossman happy.

Well you know Chief, I have been working on my weight. Thanks for noticing.

This reinforces my thesis of yesterday. If the strips ended after the second panel we’d be left with visions of Brutus smiling.

Veebs is a great motivational speaker, :=D

Didn’t think Veeblefester was the touchy-feely type…
