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.

Yes it is 38 but would it not the Romans think it would be easier to just write 38 instead of XXXVIII,not very smart those Romans.

True, the Arabic system is way more efficient. Not only because it’s easier to write, but the Arabs came up with the idea of using the digit 0 to represent zero, which makes simple arithmetic so much easier.
Don’t believe me? Then try multiplying XXXVIII by X without converting them to Arabic numerals first.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away! And a lot of others too if you have enough and throw ’em hard enough!

yep, I go my towel right here!
For those who do not know about the answer to “Life, the Universe and Everything” as well as the need for a towel, read,
“Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”

Around the neck!? That’s where they usually measure shirt sizes (there and in the sleeve).
