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.

Hurricane, as you grow, you’ll realise that a bond between a person and a dog can develop a whole new unspoken method of communication…..

Cats have a language?

Oh, indubitably so, but I have no doubt that if you were but one inch smaller than your favourite moggie, it would have no hesitation in playing with you till you were its dinner. Dogs, on the other hand, would most likely slobber you into oblivion…….
