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.

Will Rogers (1879-1935) had many great sayings. My favorite, which puts down the party with which we both identify, is, “I’m not a member of any organized party. I’m a Democrat!”

Sansom doesn’t get it – that’s precisely what Will Rogers meant. There’s no joke here.

The few people I dislike all use extremely foul language. From them I have heard the worst word in this language more times than I can count.
