Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 08, 2013

James Joyce of course is famous for creating the hard-drinking Buccaneer Ulysses Sam. He must have smelt like a Brewery; His work was really Odysseus.

Joyce came from a writing Family; He was related to the great O Henry “miller” James Joyce Kilmer; who claimed to never have seen a Pome as beautiful as a Apple.

Hey everybody. Hope you all have a stellar day.

Man, this strip is entering new dimensions in lameness… c’mon Daily Mirror, you’re killing your greatest legacy here… FIRE Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett NOW (Hard to believe it takes 3 men to make this drivel, that pretends to be Andy Capp)- You can tell the Professor and Guitar Bob aren’t Smythe characters, cause they SUCK!

Three quarks for Muster Mark!

There’s an old (in other words, REAL!) Andy Capp episode where Andy is lazing about on his couch, same as always, and sighing. And Flo comments “He has to wake up to have a drink, and he has to stop drinking to take a nap.” Could any of our fine classics posters please hunt that one up for us?

At least Andy doesn’t have to wear silly glasses to view his mother-in-law in 3-D.

“Without mentioning names, Cappers…ignore the troll!”

Andy wishes he had 20/200 vision and mislaid his specs whenever blubberzilla comes round.Winston got his new girly foot today.

And after all those nice words you passed on to the pub club yessid’y. .Number Three said, about 5 pin pricks ago

Cool… I hope everything goes smoothly with no complications from now on. Good Luck! Or will you not need it now? Well… It’s there anyway.

I’ve never saw the actual size of the needle as I try not to look. I’ve maybe saw a glimpse of it but I look away when it goes into my vein.

I hope your day is going well.

♪♪♪ Getting better all the time… ♪♪Can’t find my tomato watering tubes from last year yet. The day is good.. and cloudy now with some sky rumbling. Extra luck is always appreciated. Thanks and a good evening to you ! .@Cawkee-WehaukeeA little leak is all ya get from a tinkle. Copper is okay but Gold is best. I put a tiger beast in my tank but maybe that other one could ride in the cab, if he promises not to “tear up d’ ’holstry.. in my ’56 Ozomobile”.Double thumbs up and a big ol’ back slappy, John !   Nice that you boys got to meet at the other end of your bad boys way of livin’.

And then he added this:ALL CAPPS

.Oderifee-ious !James Joyce updated.You’re replying to Number Six’s thinly veiled slap:

There’s nowt funny about Profs.

“Most of all she liked grilled mutton kidneys which gave to her palate a fine tang of faintly scented urine.”.Could they get Keirnan and Hemphill to write the strip ?They could get this strip barred, just like that Qweedo guy !

Wondrous Wednesday Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

I have to agree with most of the Cappers here. Today’s strip isn’t up to much.

I see GoComics have made a few minor changes.

Same joke, Smythe style.

That’s different!

@Gweedo Murray

You’re welcome and I hope your watering tubes turn up soon. I’m sure they will.

After all your tubing cutter did.

It was raining for a while today which I was glad as it cooled things down a little.

My evening is great… I hope your day today is great too!

I don’t know what has become of Sharuniboy. Sometimes we lose a poster for one reason or another. I haven’t seen his posts in sometime. Hang around we may find out yet.

@afficionado

Mother’s Day has already been in the UK.

My Mum was spoiled by me and Dad.

A little Febreeze should freshen her right up ! .mythreesons said, about 1 Mysta-ry ago

“I haven’t understood any of your comments today but just figure I’m out of the loop of the regular commenters.” ….. etc. yadda yadda….. more etc..

I am most touched by your compliment, mythree. I know there are folks who can throw some hilarious comments, but I do my best to be fun and feel that sometimes I hit the nail square and even drive it all the way in with one hammer swing, like that guy John Henry. Like Linda said…...Hopefully, the “Refresh” button will get stirred back into the pot.

The Professor on Gilligan could have fixed the boat easily. Guy could just about make a fusion reactor from cocoanuts and palm leaves. but on the island, there he was, with an ancient married couple Gilligan and the Skipper, and no competition for Mary Anne and Ginger… he didn’t WANT to leave!
