Did Brutus Take Off Work for Opening Day?

A man is sitting in a chair reading and just having picked up the telephone. "No, just reading, Harry. Why? What's up? Two of 'em, huh? Sure, be right over!" We cut to the man on the other end of the line. "I better warn you, Quincy. Yours is a real dog. You don't care because you know I'm a great kidder and you'll be right over? Fair enough, pal!" Next to the man are two women. A beautiful woman sits across the sofa with dark eyes and stylish blonde hair. The other woman is short and dumpy with frizzy hair, an angry scowl and big nose, and smoking a cigar.

So that beautiful woman is going to hook up with Harry here? I probably shouldn't scoff. Harry, as much as I hate to admit it, kind of looks like me.

Hey, Tallulah, if you'd quit posing on that couch, Bertha could have a seat, too. Are these two women friends or what's going on here?

Brutus is in his green chair in front of the TV. Wilberforce is standing next to him. "It's opening day for the baseball season, son. A great day for born losers everywhere!" Brutus exclaims. "Why's it a good day for born losers?" "This is the only time where all the teams are undefeated."
Hey, readers, it's baseball opening day. The crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd. That's right, baseball's back! The boys of summer and The Born Loser a winning team! There. That's over. Although I do believe we will see several more baseball-themed comics over the next seven(!!??!!) months.
