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.

Brutus, after all of these years of suffering under VeebleFester, when are you going to take advice from Country singers Johnnie Paycheck & Brad Paisley to tell that stupid boss of yours to SHOVE IT? I guess if you say that to your owner, (VeebleFester) you will NOT have a job! Anyway, Brutus, hang in there!

I’m surprised to see Brutus talking back to VeebleFester like that… Lord knows he has it coming.
