The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 16, 2023

Or maybe his thinking why did I hire this guy in the first.

Brutus is thinking about the little money he gets for his work.

I can believe that.

Looking at their profiles, I’d almost think their related…maybe different parents?

A missed lunch is forever lost.

Well one could be related to lowland gorilla’s. One that growls all the time.

that was totally predictable, but still made me chuckle

That should be intuitively obvious to the most casual observer.

great, lets eat at different restaurants then. :D

“Are you thinking what I’m thinking Pinky?” (Narf said.) Sorry, it just reminded me of that old cartoon about the two mice, where one is a genius and the other’s insane.

You opened yourself for that one again, Brutus! Admit it. You’re NEVER going to be in Veeblefester’s good graces so you may as well quit while you five miles behind!

Brutus’ boss is a jerk!

Brutus is likely thinking of either celebrating at the nearby diner on Veeblefester’s dime, or pondering the chances of getting off work early, neither of which the boss would go for…

Couldn’t have been a lot of tea cozys.

Brutus is the Boss’s left had man that’s for sure. How about lunch my friend. Just like Brutus, a meal sounds good after a hard morning of inventorying of tea cozies and whatever else the company produces…..

Brutus wants a longer southern lunch at the counter.

No, Brutus. It’s a safe bet bossy is not thinking about letting you go home early, today. Just put that out of your mind. You’ll just be disappointed.

“I think so, Thornapple, but where are we gonna get a three-legged billy-goat and set of off-key bagpipes at this hour?” (What I want to know is, how can you tell if bagpipes are off-key? ☺)

Veebs makes Don Rickles look like Mr. Rogers

I think Brutus is less of a “Born Loser” and more of a "Born Naïveté”! His childlike character traits make him believe he can always be cordial and friendly with selfish idiots who have no regard for his loving and accepting nature! No, not a “Loser” but fodder for predators!

On further consideration, perhaps that is the definition of “Loser”. Sad.

Veebs actually eased up on him, he could’ve said something more like “you’ll never be accused of thinking”.

one of my favorite conversations like that was in I.Q. — Albert Einstein: Are you thinking what I am thinking?Ed Walters: Well what would be the odds of that happening?

…“and never the twain shall meet”.

Looks like the chief ain’t buying lunch. Again! Maybe he doesn’t like okra!

RV is not a nice person. He certainly doesn’t deserve to have a nice guy like Brutus working for him!
