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.

Then why are you at this restaurant, Brutus.

Breck’s Steakhouse in North Charleston, South Carolina, has an excellent “Meal for two” that about $25. You get enough steak to eat that meal and at least 1, if not 2, more.
And you don’t go to this steakhouse for the vegetables, altho they have been getting a little better in the past year.

Why are you seeking verisimilitude in a comic strip?

“I’ll just have a Pine Float”.
(For those that do not know what a Pine Float is, It’s a glass of water with a toothpick in it.)

Bad idea. They want you to order more at a place like this.

Dagwood can recommend a nice “greasy spoon.”
