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.

Minus the last panel, it would show Brutus lacks the concept of cheaper in bulk.

Unfortunately, many manufacturers have also lost the concept of cheaper in bulk.
Lately, I’ve seen some products’ “economy” sizes with higher unit prices than the “standard” sizes of the same product.

They haven’t lost the concept of cheaper in bulk, they know that a lot of consumers just assume it’s cheaper per unit in “economy” size so they buy it. The manufacturer makes a better profit so why should they change?

We’ve noticed that a lot lately too. You have to really watch close. Let the buyer beware.

“Cheaper in bulk” would be something like “1 for $1, 2 for $1.80, 3 for $2.20” where the price goes UP (but more and more slowly) and NOT where it goes DOWN for the total amount. Any manufacturer using the pricing in the strip would go broke using such a pricing model.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. After all, she didn’t say “each”!

And how much do they want for none?
I’s like the old gag of second prize being 2 weeks in Goshen – first prize is 2 days.
To quote Bob Dylan – “How much do I have to pay to getting out of doing these things twice?”

I’ve seen toilet paper in a 12-pack at a higher per-roll price than a 4-pak, so I bought 3 4-paks.
