The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for July 25, 2023

Garfield, over at his classic strip, agrees.

It will be that kind of day until Thursday – Friday eve.

Thorny, for you EVERY DAY is Monday!!!! ;D

After a week-end the first five days are the worse…

Hang in there, Brutus, Labor Day is just over a month away.

Sigh! Another seven Monday week.

At least Monday’s child has learned to tie his bootlace.

I do like, say, the day after Labour day, when Monday falls on a Tuesday and I can sleep through the extra pre-Monday.

I hate Mondays that last all week

Does this mean Brutus will make the same mistakes today as he did yesterday?

It’s Friday. Friday started last Wednesday when I confused the neighbor. Then Thursday she informed me it was Thursday not Saturday. Then the next day I asked her what day it was and she said Friday. I said SEE? That’s what I told you 2 days ago. Anyway, I leave on vacation on Friday. It will make it easier because I’ll be somewhere else and I can drive my son crazy with, Where are we? or Are we in Sturgis yet? How much further? I gotta pee? I’m bored. When’s lunch?16 Fridays in a row coming up starting Friday. It was never like this when I was working. They never gave me 7 paydays a week. I do prefer retirement.

it must be another one of those weeks… my brother can relate sadly.

They call it stormy Monday

But Tuesday’s just as bad

Lord, and Wednesday’s worse

And Thursday’s all so bad

- T-Bone Walker

Is that like a rainy day? Do they always get him down?

Brutus the philosopher .

Poor Brutus, I understand how you feel. Sometimes other days of the week call in Mondays for reinforcement.

I remember having entire weeks of Mondays. Now that I’m retired, and get volunteered to do stuff, it’s like a week of Fridays (“Jeff can do it, he’s retired”. My reply is, I’d do it, but it’s my day off.") Looking forward to the week of Saturdays phase.

It’s a Monday kind of Tuesday here too. I am getting shots under my kneecaps again today. That should be fun, since I haven’t fully healed from my surgery – which luckily didn’t involve my knees. This was the only day they could get me in for the shots that I should have had a month ago. Whatever keeps me walking and not needing my knees replaced works for me. I am too limber for replacement knees. I have a fear I would damage them on a regular basis.

Yep, we’ve all had those type Monday’s!

Some days are like that. On those days just grin and bear them. Called life my friend…..

Brutus, you have yet to learn, in your working years every day is a Monday, some are just more Monday than others.

In your retired years every day is a Saturday with the exception of Sunday.

“Wednesday’s worse. And Thursday is ooh so sad” But the Eagle fly’s on Friday Thorny! And Saturday you can go out and Play!

Those extra Mondays drive me to drink, and I’m retired.

I don’t have those anymore.

Get to work Brutus, you don’t want Veeblefester to catch you lollygagging.

Yes, it is.

Brutus is spot on. Holidays on Monday make Tuesday the de facto Monday and the suffering is only delayed. Make holidays on Fridays!

On the bright side, Brutus, Friday comes around in three days.

Wednesday is right around the corner. I always liked Wednesday. Once it’s Wednesday, you’re closer to Thursday. Which is basically Friday.

Don’t worry Brutus, tomorrow will be Wednesday (over the hump) and the next weekend won’t be far away. Then you can have a well earned rest. Ha! Ha!
