The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 11, 2022

Worse

Well, you got one on her, Brutus. Hope it was worth it….

“And never call again!”

Given the choice between a telemarketer and the old witch, I’d choose the telemarketer.

My favorite method of dealing with telemarketers is the Jerry Seinfeld method. “Could you give me your number so we can discuss this later when you are at home. Oh, you don’t want me calling you at home? Now, you know how I feel.”

Good one

Why not try to put “Mother Gargoyle” on the do not call list?

Caller ID has improved my blood pressure.

I turn my phone off after 4 PM and don’t turn it on again until the next morning. I grew tired of all kinds ruining my meals and interupting my movies.

Oh the problems of having a home phone.

It may look like a win for Brutus in the moment, but we all know he will pay for it in the end, hence why his nickname isn’t Nick.

I like to ask telemarketers “Is this really what you wanted to be when you grew up?”

Je suis désolé mais le numéro que vous avez composé n’est plus en service

With caller ID, who answers the phone when a strange number or one you don’t want to talk to appears? Let it go the answering machine or voice mail, whichever you have.

Now, you’ve done it, Brutus. Gladys will have to quickly call her mom back and apologize for your foupa and you’ll be in the doghouse for a week. Of course, in your house, you’d probably not notice the difference.

Brutus must want to be buried with his food tonight in the non heated dog house he’s now in.

Yea! He told off the old battle axe!

I wonder if Brutus has a phone in the dog house?

Brutus, apologize now and tonight and tomorrow morning and…

Good for you Brutus!

“Well said and we’ll played” will be inscribed on Brutus’s tomb stone, probably tomorrow….

Your car warranty is about to end. You know the rest!

I love it when Brutus gets this bold. Of course, as “zeek” said, he’s going to pay for it.

Mother gargle should be a telemarketer.

Brutus, you’re sure going to pay for that!!!

HA!! Caught you out there, Gladys!

Wow that took guts for his part.

Brutus appears to be extremely pleased with himself, so it would seem he thought his handling of the call was worth any possible future grief.

Should’ve just said it was a nuisance call, he’d still be right.

Hahaha!

He rolls and loses again!

She probably did it intentionally.

My favorite is the toilet method.

On the zinger scoreboard, Brutus just scored a double — getting both his MIL and his wife in the short space of three panels!

And although most of his sparring with Gladys is verbal, if he’s in the mood for seconds, I’d suggest he go to the kitchen and get it himself, in the interest of self-protection . . .

It could have been worse if it was Leroy Lockhorn telling off his mother in law on the phone.

Lol Chip!!! Didn’t see that coming.
