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.

The Ground Hog shadow deal is a sham lie and a bunch of bunk. I discovered this Groundhog Shadow thing as a scam when I was 6 years old. (I’m will soon be 56).
When I was 6, I heard the Weatherman tell us about Ground Hog Day and if he saw his Shadow there would be six more weeks of Winter. I went to the calendar on the kitchen wall and counted the number of weeks from February 2 to the First day of Spring, March 20, it’s exactly 6 weeks.

That’s way too smart, logical and deep thinking for the typical 6 year old.
What are you, Calvin as an adult? Well done, then!

Glad you finally figured that out. Groundhog day is a day for fun and wishful thinking. You should not take everything in life seriously.

You’re right. Punxsutawney Phil did predict an early spring.

The point is that if he doesn’t see his shadow spring is going to come in less than 6 weeks, if he sees it then we have to suffer through the full winter.

So, if he didn’t see his shadow, it’s already spring?

If the groundhog sees his shadow, there is another six weeks of winter. If he doesn’t, then there is only 42 days of winter.

The groundhog is just showing off for the Easter Bunny. And The Tooth Fairy is a dentist in San Francisco.

That would work for my wife. She’s feeling gypped out of snow.
