Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 12, 2013

Andy’s just having a wee discussion on the rules…

“Discipline” must be one of the many words nonexistent in Andy Capp’s dictionary.

>>You make an old geezer blush, you do.>> I am no longer in stage one. Charmin stock spiked yesterday. However, my body aches like I have been beaten severely. This shall pass.>>Number Three, my dear, you are sunshine on this page when all else is dreary. I hope you will continue to post for years to come.

You’re not an ‘old geezer’ to me. Keep letting us all know how you are doing. We’re all thinking of you.

I wiill carry on posting for a VERY VERY long time to come.

(Sorry everyone)

Get Well Soon!

Andy has problems with the refs even when he’s not playing…

Everyone knows that Football is a rough sport.

Some refs just deserve to be put in a headlock. And other refs deserve to have their heads put in a bucket………@Mikeyj I really liked this one! Constable Clarence Capp looks like something out of Gilbert and Sullivan. (Of course, when constables have to deal with Andy, there’s not much doubt that “a policeman’s lot is not a happy one.”) I love the way he’s whistling a happy little tune as he keeps time with his nightstick.

See Andy in ACTION on the field.

Sprightly Weekend Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

You know, and don’t throw rocks at me please, I never had a problem with Joe. I felt sorry for him and felt that he was misunderstood. He was always nice to me. I know I’m one of the few who liked him, but there were a couple of us who did.

I hope your day got off to a good start.

How are you?

Why is Pogo on this page?

Andy has obviously never heard of the Bruce Grobelaar School of Goalkeeping…this strip looks as if it’s from an earlier age when the British game was purer and more innocent. But you could see him doing it… (Grobelaar was the Rhodesian, and for a while the Zimbabwean, international keeper. He was good enough at his trade – world-class, in fact – to play for Liverpool, then European champions every other year. But he fell from grace when it was discovered he was boosting his retirement fund by accepting big bribes from betting syndicates to throw matches.his general clowning and joking in front of the sticks excused him many things and if every so often he fumbled a collection or let in a sitter… well, it was just Bruce having an off-day. And he’d been expelled from Zimbabwe by then for criticising the leadership, so he was effectively stateless…) Now what sort of bribe would Andy take for throwing a game, and how many brewery wagons would it fill?

“What’s new, pardon for asking what’s new”.

Anything to win a bet.

I’m a HUGE Pogo fan and therefore I’m very happy that Buggerlugs is posting them. I think Pogo first was talked about in here when somebody mentioned that GoComics runs old “Li’l Abner” episodes (not that there are any new ones but you know what I mean.) Several of us mentioned that we’d love to see Pogo on GoComics. (Btw @Buggerlugs I’m saving this 8 parter to read all at once. Maybe after this really political arc it might be fun to have one of Pogo’s just silly or even surreal adventure arcs? Just a suggestion from a friend and admirer.)

I’m with you Gweedo. I would try to be respectful and even support Joe’s posts. What I got back was hardly thank you. Your description is apt. Quite prickly.

Gweedo and John Pike, for a time we emailed back and forth. He was quite friendly and kind in emails. I truly think he is a nice man. I haven’t heard from him in a while, I can’t remember if he owed me an email or I owed him, but time just ran away with me, and I never got back to him. Maybe one of these days I will. I know he has some health issues and I hope all is well with him.

Gweedo….it helps to have someone to warm you up.

Is your little animation swallowing it’s tears?

It’s very cute.

Looks like you need THIS again:

I know you’re already warm in your house but just keep it for next time you’re cold.

I’ve been sneezing quite a lot recently… Not today but a lot yesterday.

I’m not sniffly yet so that’s a good sign.

Glad you’re doing OK.

Where’s ƹʅɗʘ?? Hes been absent for about a week. This comment section is just not the same without him.

You’re replying to Gweedo Murray’s comment:

That Clarence guy is a stain on the Capp line.^^Exactly, the least he could do is take some bribes, right? ;)

You all might get a kick in knowing that, here in Canada, where foreign people think we live under the ice 10 months a year, it was sunny and 60f here, all day

@GweedoIts 2 degrees F here…maybe we should warm each other up…lol….It snowed today…and it is supposed to drop some more tomorrow…but maybe not…I think I am going to Duluth and try to snowboard some….I may wind up in a heap, but it will be fun! … and they have a hot tub in the hotel room I am staying at so, I should be ok….gotta go for it all while I can ya know?….life is good…life at 60 is an adventure! … and I am going for it!!

bring us some Ling…..hot and fresh……..I have powdered sugar…

I have not done a lot of posting on the comics I visit. But today I realised, fully, how special “Andy Capp” is. I expect Doonesbury to get wild sometimes. Also, “Non-Sequiter”. Well, the folks at Doonesbury are dealing with a wild day.But “Wozardof Id” got hijacked by a troll who turned a strip about a talking parrot into POLITICS. I thank God, daily, for having met you folks here. We are a community and we share our experiences, strengths, hopes and problems.>>I LOVE YOU GUYS

pcolli said, about 8 hours ago @Dry We speak as we find. Life is a personal experience. Never apologise for being yourself.

THANK YOU SIR!

Gweedo Murray said, about 7 hours ago @Dry Interesting that you got to know J.A.D., Dry. I don’t recall ever Flagging him as his talk was not truly obnoxious, just irksome. Glad you got through the “ice”.

I’M GLAD I DID TOO! He really is a very nice man.

Good night all! Sleep well, and those who are sick, hope you feel better soon!

funny!!!….wish it’d shown Andy having the referee in a headlock
