    Andy was three sheets to the wind, and was feeling no pain.

    … heard unsubstantiated rumors that they’ve been P.C.-ifying Andy Capp so that, among other things, he’s not so drunk anymore.Smokes less, isn’t as funny, etc.sigh I suppose it had to happen.

    So who are the famous West coast cartoonists, and who are the East coast ones? West Coast has Dilbert’s Scott Adams, and the late Charles Schulz of Peanuts. I bet most of the rest are East Coast.

    Whoa, whoa, whoa. I thought this was the East Coast-West Coast Cartoonists War. Andy Capp is totally a British strip I thought. Or are have Roger Mahoney and Roger Kettle been doing the strip in the US after taking up for Andy Capp’s late creator, Reg Smyth?

    Why guns? It’s a cartoonist war. Why not stupid pranks?

    I just learned about Rullet pizza, 7 slices of normal deliciousness, one slice with very hot pepper sauce instead. Game is to serve randomly and whoever the group thinks had the nuke pays. Strikes me as more fertile ground for jokes then a cartoonist war with a former lawyer with a piece.

    Nabuq, the only place you can find those firearms nowadays is in the Museum of Antique Cartoon Weaponry.

    I’m sure Pastis sleeps with a loaded MacBook handy, though.

    “East coast / West coast” obviously refers to the two coasts of the Atlantic.

    Say, whatever happened to “Trevor”? It was a decent cartoon.

    Technically, of course, Andy Capp is a creation, not a cartoonist. But who could pass up the chance to put a cap in Capp?

    and when the hapless family’s bullet riddled corpses are found strewn about the circle, Dick Tracy is left to wonder who was responsible for the carnage.but his prime suspects were “NOTME” and “IDA KNOW”

    I was wondering how the cartoonists get to the other coast. Because the TSA should stop them for sure for traveling with weapons of mass distraction.

    I saw this in the paper and I had to write the editor on this. At the time, they were censoring “Doonesbury” and I wondered, why censor one and not the other? Most kids, I can guarantee you, don’t look at “Doonesbury”, but there are talking animals in this strip, and now thousands of kids must be wondering what it means to “cap” someone…
