The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 23, 2020

Maybe not a single thing but how about a couple of hundred?

Veeblefester, a legend in his own mind-and the minds of his employees (if that is they know what’s good for them that is! ;D).

I know, you are too modest.

Smart answer, Brutus.

Mr. Sansom…I know you stay out of politics in your strip, and I applaud you for it. I couldn’t help think of a political equivalent to the above.

Warning to fellow readers/posters to this forum…Skip my reply if you are put off by politics in a comic forum. I tried to tone it down a little, my apologies.

Why isn’t he in the State Assembly?

Hmmm…I dunno – I’d have to say using “by jingo” is worth at least one demerit!

“We, the unwilling, led by the unqualified, have been doing the unbelievable for so long with so little; we now attempt the impossible with NOTHING.” This is a plaque Mom gave me back in the 60’s. Still true today.

A golden opportunity was missed to make real changes in the boss’s and in the work environment. Most likely though, this was the first test that Brutus passed in his life with flying colors…….

A perfect example of how to not get fired if you worked in the tRump Administration.

I would say I’m overly humble, but that would be a fault and I don’t have any.

Sounds like Trump.

Wouldn’t you know he has a picture of the one person he adores, himself.

Feeblefester, you’re no Mary Poppins!

Brutus won today. Well, for now. Quick, Brutus, go home now before you blow it!

And sadly, that is exactly how you end up with the Trump family.

i just had to share…

“Back a few months ago, I was headlinin’ a great big nightclubAnd they put me up a couple days early, I came in a couple days earlyAnd they put me up in what they call the “Star Suite”Now here I am, headlinin’ in one of the biggest nightclubsIn the country and I wake up at eight o’clock in the morningIn this “Star Suite” all by myself"“Awwww”“Yeah, that’s what I said, “Awwwww.”“But I did what I’ve always done, man, to cheer myself upI picked up my guitar, I sat down and I wrote me a little songNow this is how it feels to be alone at the top of the hillTryin’ to figure out why”Oh Lord it’s hard to be humbleWhen you’re perfect in every wayI can’t wait to look in the mirrorCause I get better looking each dayTo know me is to love meI must be a hell of a manOh Lord It’s hard to be humble,But I’m doing the best that I canI used to have a girlfriend,But I guess she just couldn’t compete,With all of these love-starved women,Who keep cowering at my feetOh I probably could find me another,But I guess they’re all in awe of meWho cares?I never get lonesomeCause I treasure my own companyOh Lord it’s hard to be humbleWhen you’re perfect in every way(I can’t wait to look in the mirror)I can’t wait to look in the mirror(Help me out now! Come on)I get better looking each day(To know me is to what?)To know me is to love me(Must be a hell of man)I must be a hell of a man(Oh Lord It’s hard)Oh Lord It’s hard to be humble,(When you’re doing what?)We’re doing the best that we canI guess you could say I’m a lonerA cowboy out lone, tough, and proudI could have lots of friends if I wantedBut then I wouldn’t stand out from the crowdSome folks say that I’m egotisticalHell I don’t even know what that meansI guess it has something to doWith the way that I fill out my skin tight with jeansOh Lord it’s hard to be humble(When you’re perfect in every way)When you’re perfect in every way(Can’t wait to look in the mirror)

Careful Brutus, careful. We have too many disasters waiting to happen.

hear hear – sc still foolish

That’s arrogance for you.

By the way Rancid is not perfect, he bullies Brutus and his coworkers and is very mean to everybody, he reminds me of Trump or Scrooge. Rancid never says anything nice he’s a control freak and hoards all the money for himself he doesn’t care about anyone but himself he’s very self centered and selfish, I would like it if there was a storyline where Rancid retires from work. Rancid is my least favorite character ever.
