Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 09, 2013

Well, what’d you expect? Andy Capp (the comic strip, not the strip’s title character) has been going on since 5 August 1957.

Number Three said, about 10 good dogs ago

@Gweedo MurrayThe only long comments I would take great pleasure in skipping over are talks of religion or politics. It’s not like you’re talking about those things. What you’re saying is a lot more interesting and enjoyable to read.-I loved it when you mentioned about the little dogs “Biggy & Twiggy” Love the names! Yesterday I was walking behind this couple and the man had this very big dog on the leader… I THINK it was an Alsatian but I don’t know many dog breeds either. It kept turning it’s head around and pulling a little on the leader and I happened to be walking near it and it went towards me and I got scared and backed away and the man must have noticed I was scared and he said “He’s all right” meaning that the dog wouldn’t try to bite me or go for me which I was relieved to hear.-I’m a bit scared of dogs… Please don’t laugh.-I hope your new drill works great especially if you are going to use it often.-Have a nice Saturday and you may have noticed that I’ve added little paragraph marks in your comment so it won’t look crowded. Hope you don’t mind but it looks easier to read now I’ve done that.

I like your paragraph dividers. I have gotten my share of mutts that don’t like me, and for no known reason. Met plenty of never befores who came on like I was their oldest best bud too. Thanks !  Despite the kind of words I have passed through the “goat”, I don’t care to present and then fan hot button stuff, like what you mentioned above. -The Buckaroos played outside at the Isabel Farm stand this evening. There was a good turnout. Barb was quite the peacock, with her multicolored tie dyed dress. They all played great and I enjoyed where Bob [Dobro] stood up; you got a good look at what he was playing, and there were some good licks ! -The drill did two jobs today; a hopefully successful attempt at repairing the weed digging tool handle and drilling perimeter holes for the cutout piece in the truck. The holes are where I can get the hacksaw blade in to start the cuts. I cut the whole thing by hand.. which took a significant portion of the day in order to avoid cutting connector wires or the plastic gasoline tank. Success !-I took shots of the car and the band and when I’ve recovered from this day long activities I will see about linking them. -Wishing you a good Sunday.

Left over from Yesterday:(From Chalkie)@Mikeyj

SK International Submainers, eh? Well that Girl Band could kick any BB’s Rear, lest You count the Beatles and Monkees, but limited appeal to-mi; i like the Ramones version better, etc. MY idea of great girl Punk with almost ZERO appeal; just a select few. Our Lit Frat House named a Cat after the Song; true Storie^^That band was terrible; if you prefer that to Shonen Knife, you need a lobotomy! :p (Limited appeal is RIGHT!)

Okay, I found some better jokes. I hope no one takes offense. I’ll spread them out over several days. I got them from a lady I know on Facebook.

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, ‘Do you want to have Sex?’ ‘No,’ she answered. I then said, ‘Is that your final answer?’

She didn’t even look at me this time, simply saying, ‘Yes..’So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend.”And that’s when the fight started…

What a weekend. My wife came home Thursday night. And she gave me a honey do list immediately. Our great nephew graduated high school today. Most of the list involved shopping for that. We had a cookout at my sister’s-in-law house. There were forty people. Give or take. Mostly Grand kids from Dylan’s age on down. It was a noisy raucous good time. I love the sounds of kids at play. I did have to protect my walking stick. Sadly I need it badly enough that I dare not let one of the kids get away from me with it. I ate too much but that’s okay, they took the calories out before serving.

A friend in need…

@afficionado, @beviekHere in Holland we had a very cold and wet spring. But finally the sun is out so my wife and I went for a bike ride through the countryside. We still had to struggle against quite a chilly wind, but we enjoyed the ride a lot, in particular on our way back when the wind was blowing in our back, pushing us like an elephant.

I still got it too, Andy. Trouble is, no one wants to catch it. Friend of mine once said, “That chick smiled at me”. I said, “I don’t blame her, first time I saw you I broke out laughing.”

Holy double tap! Sorry for the repeats. Slow internet, I reckon.

I like how Her Hair looks surprised. That ‘pursed’ Mouth too just like in Chuckweed.

Top o’ the morning, Cappers! I’ve been out of circulation for a week . With all the talent in this section, I’m sure I wasn’t missed very much, but it’s great to be back.Andy has always been a rogue, and is even funny when he’s shot down in flames…

Did I mention; forget to remember Dusty? Home in Memphis and in Andy’s CabalWhat’s that I smell?!?Andy’s "Home Cookin’ " ? It’s only the CanalIt’s only the CanalAndy She obviously Don’t Want to Hear It Anymore

Andy’s no stranger to the World of rejection, which is lucky:“People who need People”. hmmmmmmmmmm; why is THAT familiar?!?

Uh…Andy….aren’t you married? Better luck next time!

Andy has always taken his wedding vows lightly (and his post-wedding boozing heavily………)

@SandfanWelcome back! We always appreciate your classics.

Yeah Andy, you still got it. NOT! I doubt you ever had it in the first place, though.

Unlucky…

LOL xxx

@Gweedo Murray

I am glad the ‘Buckaroos’ put on yet another great perfomance. I think I still remember all their names. I’ll have a go: Bassman Todd, Dobro Bob, Hippy Paul and Barb.

I bet I’ve missed one out… LOL.

But the names are very cool.

And that’s good to hear that the work with the drill was successful. Sorry to hear it took up most of the day but it sounds like it was worth it.

I hope you have a good Sunday too.

Is this another one of your joke installments ?…….. Oh, that is your real life ! You poor thing you. ..jmcx4 said, about 6 hours 6 hours ago

Holy double tap! Sorry for the repeats.

That’s okay. The “Goat” does it alla time...Thanks for the ReCapps, Sandy. Nice to be back to doubled barrel fun, you ‘n’ Chalkbored. ..The chest is too big for Edda, but the hair color and attitude are juuuust right !..Mikey’s got this one zipped up tight !

I say:

Sublime Sunday Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

Cute little lass.

I dont usually post other comics, BUT…this struck my funny bone and I am still giggling at it…hope you guys done mind…

done should read “dont”…sorry ’bout dat…

I am reading “People will Talk” an ‘old’ book by a Canadian who loved the OLD movies and its stars and photographers, and is full of the wisdom of Hurrell, Barbara Stanwyck, Ingid Bergman, Kate Hepburn, Howard Hawks, etc…very informative and gives a background to previous stories in very dissimilliar (sp?) earlier books/stories that one could only wonder about and try to research but led to nothing…its pretty good if you are into that sort of thing…Gweedo had loaned me a book via Ken that fascinated me…“How the Other Half Lives”…it was full of photo’s from the late 1800’s featuring the areas that were THE SLUMS and featured Hell’s Kitchen, Little Italy, Chinatown, what was known as Little Jeruselam was given a different name but included Hester Street and thats as Jewish as you could get in New York at the time…it was a fascinating book to me as a student of history from the late 80’s to the mid 40s…anyway, didnt mean to carry on, but I am a book lover and reader and was just answering the question…“What are you reading?”…

Gweedo does more than arrange book loans, he also says:A lazy Sunday afternoon

They sure did, Three !  You got the names, although she calls herself Barbara “Jo”… she’s prob’ly just a “Barbara” when she’s not on. Thanks on the drill and Sunday is going nice ‘n’ slow today.

What Popeye is about is; the boys fighting over Olive Oyl or her being in some distress where Popeye “saves her” after pumping down a ‘can of the green’. There are occasional distractions of Swee’ Pea, Wimpy and that bad ol’ Sea Hag. We can’t forget the rare visit by Professor Wattasnozzle and Eugene the Jeep. Inane cartoon violence at some of its finest !..Great Aunty cartoon, Linda. ..And that’s ME Gweedo, sayin’ that !!,… through the erazed Chalkbored gossip column. ..Send Dusty over here, P, I know what to do with herself.

dont stop believing…hold on to that feeling’…

I’ll have a better idea next Week . . . what’s on the reading docket.

Too bad we can just, just erase our problems That idea could get really big.
