Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 19, 2013

Well I know nothing about paradoxes but I do know that I am bamfoozeled about winter, Is it ever over? I do wonder. Especially since I am looking at another foot of fluffy white snow. Ok, so it is only 11. 8 inches, thats close enough. Bev, I thought Chicago would be better, but it isnt. Oh well, I am gonna go see that kid no matter what! He needs my arms holding him, as much as my arms need to hold him. At least I hope so..lol..ok, so much for a bathroom and check email run. Night all, sleep tight and keep those bedbugs off of ya!

Empathy would help in not getting bruised.

Six, I got twelve breaks in eight ribs once from a lack of empathy. I stood up when I was supposed to shut up. Ouch.

Empathy, no… stupidity, yes!

Fantabulous Friday Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

Somebody please put me to bed…shnnzzzzz….

Thx for all the nice comments for my redux of yesterday’s lamo strip; it more or less wrote itself! :D

as far as todays strip goes, ask Number 6 if empathy helps with bruises or muscle aches and pains….

I’m not sure how a lack of empathy would result in a dust-up, but Andy never needs much of an excuse…

How about hostility?

Actually, Andy, empathy is very good for bruises. It prevents them.

Old WW II barracks song:The coffee that they serve youThey say is mighty fineGreat for cuts and bruisesAnd tastes like iodine

is that empathy hard liquor or will I be needin more than one bottle?

Now for the rest of the story.

@No. 6A measly £2000? You should have taken them to court. Lawyers need money too. How do you expect them to make their Lamborghini payments?

Hi Gweedo.

Dagwood’s turn..

@Stagger LeeLooks like Mr. Dithers deserves all the umbrella whacks Dora can dish out.

@No.6Rowan Atkinson as Blackadder is my all-time favorite.

My %@#& Reply function does not work!Anybody else have this problem?

I’m guessing knocking some sense into Andy would take months on end for the Vicar.lol

@Buggerlugs and Number SixWHICH Blackadder? My personal favorite was the one with Queen Elizabeth (who was just a TAD ditzy…..) Of course the one with Hugh Laurie was also excellent. The WW I version wasn’t quite up to the others, and the first series Blackadder just didn’t have the evil cunning.

almost noon here; first act of random kindness:Notice, already, the beginnings of the “Dag” Hairstyle. So one can see the cause/effect and fill-in-the Blanks about what happens at the Bumbsteads after the Lights go out.

@ChalkieI prefer this version.

@GodfreydanielI liked the Blackadder episodes set in WW1. I never cared much for Mister Bean.

@pcolliOne must use sarcasm carefully. It can backfire if it’s taken seriously or if it is hurtful to its target. Never ever use it on your arresting officer ;-)

Dagwood’s new hair style.

@ChalkieReading your posts is educational. I’m learning new words(for me). Such as bathos and litotes.

The following is from our buddy in Colorado…I am on the train to Chicago…see ya!

Number Six said, about 2 werker comps ago@jmcx4

A cupboard door came off its hinges at work 2 years ago and gave me a black eye. I received £2,000 in compensation.

I might take some heat… but that’s generous for a non scarring, non permanent injury. Some people rate real good treatment though. So, bully for you !

.

.Good morning, Buggerlugs !

I agree on the Black Adder. Everyone knows the “Bean” shows and movie, but that man had so many lines in the “Adder” programmes, and pulled it off !  I think I’m envious of the mental capacity for holding all that much material and then spitting it out like normal stream of conscious conversation.

.

.Hi, Dry , Bevie, Number Three… and you too, Susan.

A shout out to all my “Boyfriends” at Pubschurch also.

Thank you for the kind words. I get great pleasure out of posting the classics, and hope everyone enjoys them as much as I do.

I’m watching the action in Boston also. Still not apprehended @ 8:20 eastern.
