The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 26, 2023

What delightful thought.

That is adorable. Not born loser, but a true winner.

Atsa nice!

Who are you and what have you done to Gladys?

If it ain’t Jeremy Brett, it ain’t Sherlock Holmes!

Awwww!

She had to beat around the bush. 3 words, I recorded it…easy

I thought they went on a “date” last night

So romantic <3

Refreshing. An actually sweet strip where two people in a family, especially a married couple, (From the wife directed at the husband, no less.) are actually loving to each other.

Brutus: Gladys, are you sure you didn’t watch it?

Gladys: Of course not. How would I know the butler did it.

Well I be – Gladys almost teared me up. My wife was buried Friday. Age 85. It seems only yesterday we were getting married. Time gone in blink of an eye. Enjoy your time together folks. Leave squawking to birds.

Perry Mason?

I miss the NBC Sunday Night Mystery Movie. McLeod, McMillan and Wife, Hec Ramsey and my favorite Columbo. “Ah just one more thing.”

She’s a keeper.

This now is a side of Gladys I hadn’t expected. She really can be sweet, at times. And, she does like being with her husband, despite what her mom says.

While not wildly romantic or anything, it is an expression of love for my wife and I to sit and watch TV shows or movies we both like together. We simply enjoy being in each other’s company.

What in tarnation is going on here?

This is part of my life. PSA: the best program to come out of network television in a very long time is Alaska Daily. It’s rare to see a tv show anymore with any real acting and quality writing.

Yes. Watching your favorite shows and not having to deal with Mother Gargoyle! LOL!!

it’s also blind from what I hear. :D

Yes, it is, Gladys and Brutus. Enjoy your show.

This made my day.

Today’s strip perfectly describes our evenings.

Every once in a while, The Born Loser gets a win… ☺

That is so sweet! And a side of Gladys we rarely see!!

The opposite is when the relationship ends, you see the shows that you used to watch together and have difficulty watching them alone.

Then when you do watch them, you laugh and realize she’s not laughing too.

Keep going Brutus.

I didn’t watch any TV for at least 30 years, and when I started, I never bothered to learn when things were actually aired. I stream or watch DVDs at times that are convenient for me. I would still not watch any TV, but my tinnitus is too loud at night now to be able to concentrate on a book. Happy to see Gladys not only doing something nice for the two of them, but mentioning it in such a loving way.

And it will still be recorded after you fall asleep next time.

oh that is cool

True love is not making “prescient” comments to your mate while watching a show you have seen before. :)

Gladys is getting pretty schmaltzy, going for another?…

It doesn’t get sweeter that’s this!

Brutus, don’t let Ramona know that Gladys is getting romantic towards you…

Gladys sees that Brutus liked her dinner tonight…

Chalk up one for her. Not bad girl, not bad indeed…..

Thank you!

I recall Banacek from the Wednesday Mystery Movie. He was great. Too bad it didn’t spin off a series.

Gladys, I never knew Sherlock got married, utters Brutus…

Looks like Gladys can occasionally be nice.

Inspiring!!! Finally, Thorny is a winner!!!

We have several favorite shows, they all are recorded, just in case. Just in case has happened quite often

Aww! One of the few times we see a little real tenderness between them (as opposed to the zingers, although those are also a form of affection). Also reminiscent of the Love Is . . . comic which, according to Wikipedia, is still running:

We watch Columbo every weekend.

I’m not crying! You’re crying!
