Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 07, 2013

That’s a good excuse as any!!

That’s my feelings. Age is just a state of mind – and I’ve lost mine !

Loved those comics. Especiallly the ounce of image one. Thanks!

Andy’s route took him right past the Rose and Crown. Lateness explained.

More Hollywood Squares…

Q. True or False, a pea can last as long as 5,000 years.

A. George Gobel: Boy, it sure seems that way sometimes.

Q. You’ve been having trouble going to sleep. Are you probably a man or a woman?

A. Don Knotts: That’s what’s been keeping me awake.

Q. Which of your five senses tends to diminish as you get older?

A. Charley Weaver: My sense of decency..

Q. In Hawaiian, does it take more than three words to say ‘I Love You’?

A. Vincent Price: No, you can say it with a pineapple and a twenty..

Thought of the day and Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

Bev, I forgot to mention yesterday how much I liked the backsplash that you chose to go with the counter tops…it looks great!

My favorite “Hollywood Squares” line (I’m hoping I get this exactly right but I don’t have my book handy and I’m doing this from memory:Q: Who said, “On, King, on, you husky!”A: Paul Lynde: “Queen Anne!”

Uh huh…

Poor strip today I’m afraid.

Andy is never late to work.

GWEEDO!

Thank you Number Three! And how are things with you? I hope all is well. I try to drop by but I am not very good at it. Partly because I myself read TOO many comics, I’m addicted!

Oh and Number Six, hello Sir! I hope as the days go by, things are getting a little better for you.

You can’t be late for something you don’t do.

rofllllllllllll….You stole my idea!!…so Nyuck Nyuck, you know its a good idea if Eldo and I both had it….NOT!!!

am listening to the reasons I am an anglophile and have been all my “conscious” life…Gerry and the Pacemakers, The Beatles, The Stones, Hermans Hermits, Dusty Springfield, the Yardbirds, the Kinks, the Who, the Hollies, (who were more creative than the previous two musically)my favorite of all time, Donovan, Chad and Jeremy, who reminds me of Peter and Gordon, and another fave Van Morrison was busy then with some group I cant think of even though I can see the album in my head…no lettering on it..lol..and one of the groups that made me dance, the Animals…and I was reading Noel Cowards plays due to my interest in the years between the wars, and laughing my self silly with Andy Capp…although, I am glad in a way the physical violence eased off…spent too much time assisting in womens shelters I guess…but Andy, whether his artists are good, ( Roger Kettle) bad, (current) or OUTSTANDING (Reg Smythe)…is still Andy, his outlook is like a lot of folks here in the states as well as in England and I dare say a lot of other countries as well, if theres a dole there will be an Andy there to collect it…thats not all there is to him, but without the dole, I dont think he would last long enough for a strip to have shown his life…it would be entirely too squalid to show anyway…so I come for some sameness…no matter which political party is in, no matter what the silly weather does, Andy is the same…and so is early 60’s British music!

You can’t say Andy’s never had a job.He even has a new pair of overalls.

will delete it immediately….was looking outside the box…the team names and numbers…glad I never had daughters, just a son…

needless to say I have a warped sense of humor…

oh man, Eldo you remember….man, you said Curtis Mayfield and I went berserk….yeah, good stuff, good music, good times…wanna dance?

I wish I knew how to blow up my avatar so you could see it. It really is lovely, as you would expect since that is why I chose it….I can see floating down this river, on a Mississippi steam boat with its whistle blowing….
