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.

A co-worker of mine eats a full gallon of ice cream per day, he never exercises and eats what he wants when he wants. The lady that sits next to him eats like a bird and she can’t lose weight.
I laughed so hard when he started complaining about having cholesteral over 350 or so despite the fact that his weight is fine, while she has cholesteral at 105 (these are totals) so who is really more healthy? but then again who gets to enjoy life more?
