One of the things I like about your strip is that you often jump into the discussion in the comments section. I’m going to start reading fewer comics next year, but The Born Loser will make the cut. (And I read it in Spanish, too.)
I disagree with your posts more often than not, but I think you’re onto something here. It might be interesting to look into whether any of the younger shooters was “smartphoneless”. Then again, a kid would probably be bullied about not having a phone.
I always heard that it was “It is not enough to succeed; one’s friends must fail.”, which I think says it better.
