The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for June 21, 2021

See,…..I’m consistent.

Don’t blame Brutus: he makes you two years younger.

At least he’s consistent.

Does Gladys really wants to be reminded how old she is??? I think not!!

(O _ O)

Poor Gladys. Husbands shouldn’t forget birthdays. Or anniversaries, for that matter. Mine never did. Of course, my birthday was 8 days after his and our anniversary was Christmas day.

He’s got more important things to think about in a COVID world.

Who’d want to remember the birthday of a witch with a “b” like youi Gladys? :/

You can be certain going forward she will never let it happen again. (Next year: Hey Brutus… Remember June 21st two years ago, when you forgot my birthday? I was just thinking about how quickly time goes by.)

This is why I like Facebook!

Sorry about that, but you know I won’t forget next year.

Well I looked back a year ago on Go Comics, and it appears that she wasn’t even aware of her birthday back then, since there was no mention of it.

“A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age.”—Robert FrostToo bad Brutus is not a diplomat.

My ex’s birthday is nine days before my own. When she turned forty years old, I teased her so much, I wasn’t sure if I’d live to turn forty myself. I did learn my lesson though, when her fiftieth came around, I kept my mouth shut.

On Friday, Helga had to remind Hagar that one year ago he forgot their anniversary was the next day.

my wife prefers that i forget her b-days. but i remember anyway…

Well, Gladys, at least he’s consistent.

How does Gladys know that Brutus is not planning to take her out to dinner or do a surprise party when he gets home from work?

Funny how memories like that have periodic cycles. And even funnier that it seems gender based with the fairer sex having many more of them.

Hey! Gladys and our middle daughter Monica share a birthday! (It wasn’t till a few years ago we realized we should have named her “Summer”).

He just can’t believe you’re actually getting older …

Subtle, yet excellent. Good strip today Thorney, I think that is a very good way for Gladys to remind hubby that, once again, he forgot her birthday.

I gave up a long time ago trying to figure out why a person should get a present for something that they had absolutely nothing to do with. People should give presents to their parents to thank them for tolerating them through the obnoxious years.

Bad form, very bad form, especially when we have calendars and personal assistants on our phone to remind us…..

Other than my husband’s, the one birthday I always remember is my oldest sister-in-law’s. She was born on Halloween, and I’ve always thought that was a really cool birthdate to have. The downside is, it’s really hard to find a Halloween-themed birthday card!

And he thought he was being considerate by not reminding her she’s getting older. I tell you just can’t win.

I love this. Hilarious!

Brutus you could respond with a line like, " I only forgot because you never seem to get any older." Don’t know whether Gladys will buy it or not, but it’s worth a try.

After his work environment he is simply glad to be home.

He would probably be more glad if …

All I need to know in life, I learned from watching classic sitcoms. They taught me that it’s the foolish husband who doesn’t remember his wife’s birthday and their wedding anniversary.

I resemble that remark. Again.
