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.

He could have said Goodnight to him, but instead practically gave him a heart attack!

He could have told him to go home and get some sleep and not come back.

It could have been worse: J.C. Dithers would have kicked him in the seat of the pants, the way he does to wake Dagwood up.

He shoulda tied his shoe laces together then yelled FIRE.
