"Well, My Dad Can Beat Your Dad!" "To the Grave Maybe!"

I like the way this kid is drawn. It's kind of weird that these kids are arguing over whose father is luckier but I like the way he's drawn. Wilberforce looks terrible though.

Even If Brutus Is 40...

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

From everything I've read, Brutus is 50. There is no way that Brutus and Mother Gargle are ten years apart. I expect this egregious error to be remedied and an apology written immediately.

Heartbreak, Heartburn, Both Make Me Gassy

Due to low readership, I am bringing an end to both gravestone postings and LAMNB. Since August, I have been trying to boost readership of this blog and it's just not working. My blog over on Tumblr will remain active but I do intend to do some drastic changes to that blog in the next month or so. LAMNB will finish out the month and I hope to have new features posted here soon.

Did Mother Gargle break up with Ollie or did he die? At her age, it's hard to guess.

Previously On The Born Loser

Hey, this comic is continued from yesterday!

My joke is better...
waif (n.)
1. a homeless and helpless person esp. a neglected or abandoned child
I was not able to find readily available information on Naomi Tanner so I was unable to determine if she was a homeless child who died in Vinland or what. I plan on doing more research as time allows and hope to have a post about Ms. Tanner as soon as I can.

They mean "win-win" for themselves. They couldn't care less about you, Brutus.

Also That Chair Doesn't Look Comfortable

I think Brutus feels bad because of the Elephant Man-esque proportions of his nose, ears and odd arm lumps.
