The Born Loser began as a strip with no central characters that revolved around the loser theme. Gradually, it developed into the comic we see today, starring lovable loser Brutus Thornapple. The rest of the cast of characters, who all serve as foils for Brutus, includes his strong-willed wife Gladys, his antagonistic mother-in-law Ramona Gargle, his Scrooge-like boss Rancid Veeblefester, his dim-witted son Wilberforce and his neighbor's mischievous child Hurricane Hattie O'Hara. The Born Loser is a six-time National Cartoonists Society award nominee. It was named Best Humor Strip by the NCS in 1991 and 1987.The Born Loser's Guide to Life, a compilation book, is published by Topper Books (1990).
