Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 10, 2010

In Andy’s case it is!

Many ladies consider a gentleman starting the lawn mower for them quite romantic, much like holding a door open, or pulling the chair out for them in a restaurant.

Flo does not seem to have a romantic bone in her body. Andy is always the one that takes the initiative to keep that old flame burning.

Perhaps a visit to a sex therapist would help Flo.

Perhaps a visit to the wood shed would help Andy.

Andy got off his arse and pulled on the mower cord? Bravo lad. I hope your beer didn’t go flat or you didn’t lose place of what horse you were going to bet Flo’s hard earned money on. Now that you got the mower going, I hope she appreciates your romantic gesture and mows the lawn, including the edging. Perhaps the pub would be a good place to recover from your exertions. Oh Flo, you missed a spot.

it was proabably a battery-start engine

Hey furnituremaker, I think you got it..!!

Just so you men know, there is no blanket moratorium on the romantic-ness of motorized contraptions. Starting the lawnmower may not be a romantic gesture, but starting the car on an icy morning sure is.

If that is the truth of it notinksanymore I wonder then can the same be said of the snowblower

Andy might buy her a pint if flo would stop YELLING…

i have seen andy capp on the back of the bag of hot fries that i loue to eat

Wives never appreciate romantic efforts by husbands.

It would be much more romantic if Andy actually mowed the lawn for her. I think that is her point.

From some men, starting the mower would be romantic, if they did their fair share of work around the house too.

Good try Andy!

Knowing how irksome my pull-start mower is at times, I’d consider it a nice and sweet gesture….add the man doing the mowing for me and now we’re getting closer to romantic gesture.

Quite an effort, considering it was an electric mower.

Please, Andy will never change. Neither will Flo. I still miss the knock down drag outs they used to engage themselves in. Seemed more like a couple from a poor part of town back in the day.

They’re getting a little old to Donnybrooke, John, but it would be nice to see some of that spark back in their romance.

Yeah. No, injuries, but true to life.
