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.

Not really. It means his hair is not combed.

No piercings, no tattoos, he’s wearing to many clothes, his head isn’t shaved, and his pants are around his waste. What a disgrace, trying to go to school like that.

I had to look sharp for elementary school since it was well run. But in middle and high school many of the teachers were proudly slovenly. It was a look they hoped would emphasise they deserved more money.

If someone doesn’t think enough of themselves to have a little pride, nobody else is going to think much of them either.

His pants are around his WHAT???!!?
I won’t mention “to many” since that is a legitimate typo.

You can go to school, you don’t have to learn anything.
