The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 20, 2025

For him, or you?

How far is it from the water cooler to the chief’s office? He must really shout.

Like the water ripple…

That’s hardly any at all.

You knew it was coming Brutus, what did you do now?

Better get some BC powder.

Brutus may even have to switch to some extra strength Advil.

If 2 aspirin doesn’t do it, he may have to switch to working.

When Brutus calls his boss “Chief”, it always reminds me of the old TV series The Adventures of Superman. Jimmy Olsen would call Perry White that, and Perry White always shouted “Great Caesar’s Ghost! How many times must I tell you? Don’t call me Chief!”

You better stop by the first aid box and grab those aspirins, Veeblefester going to need them.

It looks like Brutus is going to need something a lot stronger than Aspirin!

and two bourbons kind of evening…

just another at the office…

You’ve had them before Brutus . What’s one more ?

Probably, Brutus.

yikes… what did you do? he yelled so loudly the water in the jug moved. :{

Only 2. The Boss must be having a good day it would seem…..

Day or Morning? Brutus should take one before work each day in anticipation of things to come.

As opposed to the usual 4 aspirin kind of day Brutus?

It looks like it will take more than that to navigate this day safely Brutus. Maybe instead of the diner consider a liquid lunch.

More like 2 shots of Whiskey

Must be serious, it included an exclamation mark.

Better than a pink slip kind of day.

Take 3~200mg of Motrin and call off sick tomorrow! LOL

Oh ooh. Avoid absinthe. Ask the turtle.

What did you Not do Brutus?

Might want to stop by your desk for a shot there Brutus, you’re going to need it.

Bossman was so loud I have a headache now!

Superintendent Chalmers: Skinner!!

Panel one is reminiscent of the cry of another corporate tyrant — Fred’s boss, Mr. Slate, on The Flintstones: “FLINTSTONE!!”
