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.

One would think that Veeblefester would make him an alcoholic!

I drink at least 4 liters of water a day. Of course, most of it is coffee flavored.

But he is wearing out Rancid’s carpet and running up the water bill.

So now he’s drinking water, going to the bathroom and talking. This is going to cut into his work ethic.

Hopefully he doesn’t become a water snob! “Only ‘Aqua Vita brand’ for me!”
