Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 03, 2013

OOOOOHHHHHHH Law, law! Somebody call the PO-PO. Maybe not Smythe-sonian, but definitely funny. And perfect for Saturday morning. I bet his hair hurts. I have been there.

Andy has acute hearing, true

It’s what One doesn’t hear what can be a problem tho

@ Starlet:I was saying i couldn’t post Qwee-dough for a while. i’ll check later…..@ Linda Deansorry for Your loss. My Wilson is 16+ and creaky and know that’s a near-end there. Have the Pics and memories and the now, still.

This amounts to water torture.

Give him one more thump as soon as the tea pot is empty……

Avoiding hangovers is simple. Stay drunk.

@Linda Dean

This is a copy of the card that my Vet. sent me when my Dobie died. I hope that it gives you some comfort.

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven lies the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here,that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills there for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again,just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

Andy’s had “a li’l too much” a li’l too often.

You’re so funny.

Where in New York are you, bevie ?.Mikeyj said, about 8 artist pens ago

poor strip today, and the art looks sloppy, might have to redo

Is that an itchy trigger finger I smell ? .Number Six said, about 6 dry counties ago

@William PursellI was thinking on the same lines. I thought there was a problem with the suppliers.

They learned their lesson from last time…Does Andy ever scratch at the table ? Not counting being distracted..Thanks, Number Three. I bin talkin’ ‘bout goin…. ’bout time I do, with or without Ed. Ron and Crystal (kitty) are at the trailer, so now it’s a matter of getting the last bit of stuff out of the old place. I may even do an ozone shock treatment for odors.

“I was expecting people yesterday to take great pleasure in telling me that I’m an idiot but I was pretty surprised by the number of kind replies I got.”

Same kinda small town family care and concern we had when Pibgorn talk was on the page..Great Gweedo’s Ghost

@ Great Qwee-dough’s Ghost just last Crypt-Kick ago:“Is that an itchy trigger finger I smell ? "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah not touchin’ that.

Q: Just how does a Ghost smell, anywhay?A: Ec-y

Either Three Stooges or Popeye….a cat was padding through the room….“Quit that stomping around”!!!

I’ve never had a hangover before as I’m not one of those people who go out partying every Saturday night and I never step foot in pubs. I’m at the legal age to drink alcohol now (UK) I’ve had it a few times which I didn’t enjoy.

I can’t understand why people actually LIKE alcohol.

But this strip cracked me up into giggles.

LOL xxx

@Linda Dean

I am so sorry about the loss of little George. I hope it comforts you to know that each and every one of us are sending our warmest vibes direct to you. He was a very lucky dog to have you as an owner.

He’s looking down on you now.

((((((((Comforting Hugs))))))))

How many of these actors can you name?If you want to compile a list, label columns A thru F and rows 1 thru 10.

Example Bogart is B-4.(I was only able to name about half of them)

@FanolioI can name ALL of them! But I’m only sure of some of them when it comes to what their parents named them…….

There’s a “Peanuts” episode where Lucy is objecting to Linus making so much noise, playing records, watching TV, listening to the radio, and things. Finally he goes into the kitchen to make some toast. Lucy walks in, and Linus asks, “Am I buttering too loudly for you?”

It is interesting that there is only one black actor out of sixty.

@AnybodyWhere is Keaton?

The only ones I can’t get are the first 2 in line 7, first two in line 8, next to last one in line 7, and the first and 3rd in line 10, and as soon as someone mentions their names, I will then know them all! LOL!

@AnybodyWho is the guy at C-10, right below Chaplin?

I remember the first time I got blitzed, about 60 years ago. My buddy and I shared a gallon (cost: $1.98) of wine. I can still hear that damn cat stomping across the carpet the next day.

I want to thank all of you for your kind words. George will be missed.Saturday Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

You’re welcome Linda! Most of us have been there with our pets, too.

Andy Capp Archive Alternate[goes to the site; not a zoom of strip]Not as many, or the detail, but all ‘edited’ uniformly.

This is from the main site i nibble-at. Looks like camera-ready Art but hardly an attempt at framing, eh? whoosh! Anyways seems here Andy both avoided the Canal last Night and slept in His own Bed. now i know some are asking “why [for a change] can’t He fall-in the Canal [always funny] then sleep with the Fishes?” Sure would be convenient not-to mention funny then we could see Florrie in black instead of Apron-white or Pokey-dots [for a change]. But no; looks like Andy’s quality time was a Family Affair where a good time was had by aal, for a change.
