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.

Was he carping on something? Where was he on the scales? Can you loan me a fin? Did he have baited breath. Sorry folks, as you can see I’m hooked.

Not tonight. I have a haddock! (I had to say that for the halibut)

By the way, I once worked for a Scottish-run seafood smokehouse near Philadelphia that actually made “holy mackerel.”
I went to a South Philly fish market one day to pick up some mackerel for my company to smoke, and a wiseguy (not to be confused with a Mafiosi, also found in South Philly) asked me if it was holy.
I told him, “Yes, it’s kosher!”

Baited breath? Is that what you get from eating sushi?

With a nickname like ‘Hurricane’, Hattie will probably have enough of her own problems without meddling in the personal lives of others. “Hattie, I hear your mother calling you. You need to go, now.”

I won’t get cod making more fish jokes! Besides, that last one smelt. Someone is bound to perch you of all future references to fish. I’d yell at you myself but I don’t want you to go hard of herring. And then you’d sound kike a bitterling idiot.
Sorry, chum. That was crappie of me.
