The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for April 20, 2022

Go tell Veeblefester to give him a raise, Gladys.

Better yet, get a part time job yourself, Gladys.

Why does Gladys think she’s worth the best of anything?

Her eyes, her mouth, just slight changes shows a different expression.

Be glad they weren’t exterminating circumstances.

She should have known what she was getting.

And a lack of marketable skills.

That’s pretty extenuating!

The good life he promised ain’t what she’s livin’ today. – Waylon Jennings

Brutus: :I get it Gladys, you’re tired, cranky, probably also have cramps or hot flashes or whatever it is that you girls get. I’ll go out and get a beer, maybe you will feel better when I get back."

Supply chain issues?

can’t argue with that logic.

If she wants nicer things, then she should get a job and buy them. They don’t come out of thin air, which is probably all that is left in Brutus’ wallet at the end of the week. I cannot imagine trying to demand a lifestyle from someone who can’t afford it while not working myself.

Well, Gladys, if looks like you’ve been listening to your mother again. For the record, Brutus does give you the best of everything that he makes.

The best laid schemes of mice and men. We can never win, regardless of our wealth or lack thereof. Just ask Bill Gates or Johnny Depp…….

♫ You can’t always get what you want, but sometimes you get what you deserve! ♫

Gladys is already getting the best of everything Brutus has which unfortunately doesn’t happen to be too much.

Brutus gets shallow.

I’ve often wondered whether he could have made better somewhere else, job wise.

Gladys could try one of those annoying " work from home" jobs where you make up to 5000 a month emailing stupid ads to everyone.

I must get 10 of those a day, usually the same ad. The current ad is for McAfee.
