The Born Loser began in 1965 as a strip with no central characters that revolved around the loser theme. Gradually, it developed into the comic we see today, starring lovable loser Brutus Thornapple, his wife Gladys, mother-in-law Ramona Gargle, boss Rancid Veeblefester, dim-witted son Wilberforce and the mischievous neighbor Hurricane Hattie O'Hara.
Artist Chip Sansom began apprenticing for his father, Born Loser creator Art Sansom, in 1977. He became a full-time assistant, and gradually took on an ever-increasing role in the drawing and gag-writing duties until his father passed away in 1991.

I agree. My salad should be on a separate plate so my steak won’t start grazing.

That’s the old sea cook formula – when it’s smokin’ it’s cookin’, and it’s black when it’s done!

She can stand next to him and direct the action. Don’t want to ruin the steaks.

No wounder I didn’t like a lot of the foods my mom cooked, after I moved out and started meeting others I found that not only was my mom a lousy cook but her predjudices were lousy too!

This is a version of a saying of post Civil War cowboys in the book “Texas” by James Michner about the way that they wanted their beef cooked. In the book, the saying was “When it’s brown it’s still cooking, when it’s black it’s almost done.”

Reminds me of a Restaurant I went to once., and there was a
customer in there that ordered some toast with his breakfast.
He told the waitress that he wanted them to burn it because
he would not eat it any other way. So they burned it for him
and made the guy happy ! True Story.

Good one! Exactly how I like my steak.
I want to hear “the echo of the moo” when the steak hits my plate! Show it to the grill, flip and show the other side. Yank it off the grill…it’s done enough for me.

you folks are all too sophisticated for me….I like it on the grill long enough to get grill marks.
