Don Brutus comenzó en 1965 como una tira sin personajes centrales, que giraba alrededor del tema del perdedor. Gradualmente, se convirtió en la tira cómica que vemos hoy, protagonizada por el adorable perdedor Brutus Thornapple, su esposa Gladys, su suegra Ramona Gargle, el jefe Rancid Veeblefester, su hijo medio tonto Wilberforce y la pícara vecina Hurricane Hattie O’Hara.
