The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for August 20, 2023

But aren’t witches used to sleeping in caves?

I would have thought that the pain was a bit lower.

Overnight order…, Brutus is so concerned about the shape there pillows are in, and getting a good dig in at mama in the process, that he is unable to see why an overnight order needs to be made in the first place. I’m still waiting for the other shoe to drop. “Mama’s coming to visit tomorrow.”

Ouch. That’s…that’s just savage, Brutus. Savage.

Brave, brave but stupid Brutus. You’ll be sleeping in the guest room when the Gargoyle comes to visit.

Better order new pillows for your bedroom too!

She visits far too often, anyway. You’d think she hasn’t got a home of her own.

She’s not his MIL, She’s his PITA.

Good for you Brutus. You’re entitled to your opinion and with Mother Gargle being the harridan she is, you have the right to express it.

Very astute comment, Brutus.

Uh Oh, Brutus. World War III is about to begin. And you lit the match.

Low-hanging fruit there, Chip (but still funny)… ☺

it’s gonna be much worse than a neck pain if you don’t let her get them pillows for her momma.

Those pillows are fine. Try placing one over her face and holding it there until she lies still. Very very still.

The old battle axe should stay where the pillow doesn’t hurt her neck. The pain drops from my neck to a lower area.

Oh, Brutus, that was definitely unkind. Then again, knowing how you feel about your mother-in-law…

The best thing about mother-n-laws is that you will normally outlive them!

Saw this coming from the 5th panel but funny nonetheless. Agree with the others that the pain she inflicts is whole bodied. But yay Brutus for saying that – love his expression in the last panel! If it were up to Brutus he’d probably nail the guest room door shut.

This for that and fair is fair but not when Mama Gargoyle is concerned. In any event, the My Pillow Guy IS having a sale. However, truth be known, he is always having a sale…..

Brutus, I hate to tell you but your neck is a couple feet higher than the pain mother Gargle gives you.

ba dum tss

If you keep those painful pillows, maybe she’ll stop coming over.

Pillows actually can change your life – but only if your name is Mike Lindell. :) :(

Event though I saw it coming… You didn’t disappoint!

Brutus is upset as he spent hours finding the exact pillows that would deliberately cause a pain in the neck and there’s his wife, sitting comfortably, planning to spend way too much money for an overnight order of pillows to replace them. He just can’t say that, so he went with a different insult.

Those pains in Brutus’ and Mother Gargle’s necks are a sure fired result for every Gargle visit.

Once again Our Hero shoots! He SCORES the game winner as the buzzer sounds! YAY!

Thanks Chip. Brilliantly crafted frame to frame leading to a great, funny, conclusion. I really loved it…

Careful Brutus, she has a voodoo doll of you and a box of pins that she knows how to use.

I completely understand, Brutus! My mother-in-law will live forever…God doesn’t want her, and the devil is afraid of the competition.

HA!! TOUCHE, Brutus!! Gladys kind of had that one coming because she can be a thorn in Brutus’ side too sometimes!

Strange. I thought the pain would be lower.

To the Creators: You have no idea how you have hit my son-in-law’s and my relationship with Brutus and Mama Gargle.
