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.

I used to tease my dogs by saying, “Roll over, play dead, stay!” My dogs didn’t know the “play dead” command, so it wasn’t actually messing with their minds.
When my current dog starts barking too much, I jokingly say to her that I’d beat her senseless – except that she already IS senseless!
(therefore, no actual beating required)

Yes. You are right. I tell my big dog that she is my “big, old, ugly dog”. She just wags her tail cuddles close to me.

I once gave commands (“sit, down, stay”) to my neighbor’s dog. He did it, but looked at me as if to say, “You’re not my mom, but o.k.”.
