Did you know...? Art Sansom and Chip Sansom are best known for
The Born Loser, but they've done more than just
The Born Loser. Art was a staff cartoonist for Newspaper Enterprises Association before getting on Russ Winterbotham's
Chris Welkin, Planeteer in 1951. You can read the first month
here. When
Chris Welkin ended in 1964, Sansom moved onto
The Born Loser and the rest is history. Chip began apprenticing with his father on Brutus' antics in 1977 and took over the strip in 1991 after Art passed away.
But they worked together on one other comic strip. Dusty Chaps. The short-lived comic debuted in 1982 and featured a group of characters against the backdrop of a dude ranch. Chip was the illustrator on Dusty Chaps while Art provided the gags.
The strip, however, would be short-lived. It ended the following year. I haven't gotten to the end yet, but I'm assuming everybody went back to their home planet. Their home dude ranch planet. Anyway, here are the first two months or so of Dusty Chaps.
