The Diet and Resolution Were Never Going to Work

January 18, 2008

I'm going to consider all the strips between 1965 and January 17, 2008 to be "Classic Born Loser" so I should get to January 17, 2008 some time around 2060, give or take a year or two.

June 1, 1965

Crime just runs rampant in this comic strip, doesn't it?

I will be honest, you know how cartoons tricked us into thinking things like quicksand, piranhas, and random sticks of dynamite were going to be a more common part of life? I thought that being tied up would also be one. Here I am, 89-years-old and I've never been tied up.

He lasted until the 18th. Most resolutions are abandoned by February 1st. Or sooner.

Why is that donut even in the house? You can't just leave donuts in the house and not expect me to eat them.

It'd be hilarious if Brutus got out, went to a donut store, and brought that donut home to eat. Take that, self-discipline!
