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.

He’s also got a gut sticking out there.

This one would seriously work better with the dialogue reversed (i.e., Gladys saying Brutus’ lines & vice versa). Personally thought of the “minimus” joke long ago but had nowhere to use it.

“This one would seriously work better with the dialogue reversed " Why? They look exactly the same in both the front & the back, the only thing that differentiates them is their height & hair.
