The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 18, 2024

You’re not the Born Loser at all.

He should have read that one before eating the meal.

With a tip o’ the hat to Charles E. Fritch.

Brutus should be used to disappointment in everything by now.

You don’t believe those fortunes, do you?

What other kind would he expect?

That warning seems a bit late.

Par for the course.

Gladys is going to cut the tofu to prove the fortune true.

There’s a bowl of fortune cookies especially made for you and one for everyone else.

Good one Gladys. Say good night Gracie.

Don’t forget the unlucky lottery numbers on the back.

An accurate one?

Your inferiority complex is not good enough … try harder.

The best fortune cookie I ever got said ‘You are contemplative and analytical by nature’ so I thought to myself, “I wonder what that could mean?”

just a bad day for the fortune cookie writers…

If it was really a fortune cookie wouldn’t have a piece of green paper in it?

Fortune cookie warning Brutus about his next 10 years at work for Mr V.

I always make something up, like “you will eat dinner with a beautiful woman” for my wife or something about my grands if they are present.

Sounds like my fortune read lately?

“Mend your speech a little lest you should mar your fortunes.” Shakespeare King Lear

oh boy, a brand new type of cookies… cookies of misfortune, ha! :D

I agree this doesn’t sound like a very good fortune cookie message, but for Brutus, it’s sound advice.

the story of my life. that is why I have lowered my expectations to zero

Prepare to be shot down by the boss once again as you ask for a raise.

Reality fortune cookie?

Of course he would get a negative cookie! LOL

Are you surprised Brutus ?

Well it is Monday.

I can do Brutus one better: I got a fortune cookie with no fortune in it at all. I called it my “unfortunate” cookie

Fortune cookies don’t have fortunes anymore. I suspect someone sued a restaurant for a bad fortune that came true…

If it wasn’t for mis-fortune, he’d have no fortune at all

He’s fortunate. Gargoyle is some where else, but she’s headed his way.

He for got to add “in bed.” We always add those words to the end when reading a fortune.

Those things are getting a lot more personalized.

Fortunes cookies are for the unfortunate…….

I’m sure Brutus is used to disappointment so this shouldn’t be news to him. A thought: if you’re the Born Loser you’re expecting bad things to happen so does it even count as disappointing?

that sounds like a warning they should post on the menu… ☺

At least he got a cookie.
