The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for January 23, 2022

It looks like someone is telling “porkies!!”

/SHMIRK/

A coffee mug that says “HI TEST”.

Still your luckiest day, both rare occurrences.

Test says “hi” back atcha, Uncle Ted.

No wonder I have such bad luck playing the Lottery. I’ve never been struck by lightning.

I guess it could be next Sunday (January 30, 2022) new Sunday Born Loser strips post Chip Sansom’s second surgery would resume.

that was definitely a shocking set of surprises… :D

Several years ago, I won $2000 in the Lottery. a week later my car was stolen. The thieves did $1000 worth of damages.

And there you have it!

Great gag! Almost did a spit take with my morning coffee. Love Brutus’s self-satisfied smirk in the last panel!

The way my luck works I’ll get struck by lighting on my way to buy a lottery ticket that would have won me a thousand dollars.

$1 for $1000 bad odds. Put it in the Church Collection Plate. God pays higher dividends, even on a dollar. Though, giving more is better. AND God rarely uses lightning to get your attention…….

It was almost worth it, until I got the medical bills. The ambulance ride alone was $1000. Don’t try to pay in lottery tickets. :) :(

has to win the lottery…

Uncle Ted must have yelled SHAZAM when he won!

At least he lived to tell the story.

Brutus, I think Uncle Ted was pulling your leg.

If Uncle Ted was telling the truth, I would at least hope that the ticket survived the lightening strike so that when he recovered, he could cash it in. But according to the Creator’s comment above, Uncle Ted is just telling a tall tale. If he were Brutus’ father it would almost qualify as a Dad Joke.

Could explain why he is always bright and energetic.

My daughter has been struck by lightning twice but never won more than a few bucks.

We definitely need more of Uncle Ted in the future!
