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.

It is not money that is the root of all evil. It is the Love of money that is the root of all evil. Money is fine, when you control it, not when it controls you.

Well said! You beat me to it! ;) Always dismays me when it’s misquoted like this.

Money doesn’t make you happy, but is sure makes you “comfortable”.

Your both wrong – First Epistle to Timothy in the New Testament (1 Timothy 6:10) starts “For the love of money is the root of all evil”. But if your maybe quoting from another translation, show your source.
The point I’m making is, does the difference really matter?

It ain’t the love of money, it’s the NEED of money.

Rev. Ike once said, “The lack of money is the root of all evil.”

However, the political party that claims that they are the religious party in the U.S. is also the party that protects those with immense love of money.

Personally, I think people who insist on bringing up politics no matter what the context are the root of all evil.

Isn’t that what Rev. Ike (Phila. minister) said in the 70’s.

Good for you, revtry. Seems very few people know the true saying any more. It is, indeed, the LOVE of money that is evil.

Which party is the one that claims to be religious? to my knowledge both the major ones claim to be.
