Fabric Die
The thing with these older Born Loser strips is that they can be so weird and many of them are actually original and good so it’s hard to make fun of them. I’m not 100% sure of what’s going on here except that Gladys got thirsty while waiting for Brutus to get home and now she’s plastered, frozen in drunkenness.
At least it’s just fabric dye. Worst case scenario Brutus just had a wooden spoonful of turmeric which won’t really hurt you. Best case scenario, vinegar and water. I mean, she could’ve been making laundry soap which has soap and borax in it.
