Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 15, 2013

The Not-So-Grateful Dead.

an ancient Greek band [of philosophers], Mr. Capp

Actually, Plato’s band was called The Young Republicans. Andy could relate to the publicans part.

The thing about Plato is He was alarmingly conforming; like Putty in the Hands of His Heirs, startled.

Andy’s a Philosopher; He believes He’ll have another Beer. Strictly sups just one-at-a-time; that’s called solesupsism.

G’night Cappers ! See you all in a few….ZZZZZZZZZZZZ !

Amongst other things, Philosophy addresses the phenomena of how our mental state affects perception; Andy is an Optimist.Opti- mally, find a Pessimist and the Gelt wont be mist.

Good to see Andy engaged in philosophical conversation. It is so much better than breaking Bob’s equipment, not to mention Bob’s person. But, the fight clouds are missed.

I’m sure the burning question Todai is what’s the Kinks view on Philosophy. Well, Ray Davies was into introspection and social observation, albeit a tad anachronistic, He:“You keep all your smart modern writersGive me William ShakespeareYou keep all your smart modern PaintersI’ll take Rembrandt, Titian, da Vinci and GainsboroughGirl we gotta get out of hereWe gotta find a solutionI’m a twentieth century man. . . but I don’t want to die here."

“Even the gods love jokes.” – Plato

This is Andy’s favorite Plato quote..He was a wise man who invented beer.

— Plato

Hey there Dry…The Mountain man says hi and:Friday evening drownings

Linda Dean said, about 1 perfect size ago

maybe Chalkie or one of the other talented commentors can fix the size of it…

That’s just big enough, on this screen, to be just right. ..@Chalk-stubbz-Dead WringerNow looka here, myte !  I would not suggest the honorable(?) brooze hound do actual work, only to find some daftie, not too bright thirsty fellows to do it with him captaining. …I suppose hunting for a crew is work and I’ll just stand back up before I lose my spot at the bar.

No need to wring, I’m drip dry and the buzzer’s broke.

Sweetly Silly Saturday Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

Let’s not forget this sage advise:I’d rather have a bottle in front of me (than a frontal lobotomy) Andy’s certainly not going to put the bottle behind. . . .though i hear some prefer that method . . . .

A newspaper boy once came to my door trying to sell me a subscription to the paper so he could win a trip to Disneyland. I told him that Kruschev went to Disney land and they wouldn’t let him in (old timers will remember that.) The kid says, “What route does he have?”

One word for Andy: CLUELESS!

LOL xxx

@Gweedo Murray

Thank you for your comment yesterday. It’s really nice to be back here.

Despite me not actually commenting here… I have been reading the strips and I loved the one where Andy fell asleep when him and Flo were dancing!

I hope you have been doing great.

You know who from you know where, says:

Seerday, Lunchtime

Hugs back, Dear “wireless provider” ((((( lady ! )))))..Dry said, about 17 optometrist appointments ago

I am seeing DOUBLE POSTS HERE! Is it just me?

Yeah, it’s just you. -I wrote the company on that and was told to clean the browser cache. I wrote back saying how we didn’t have to do long way workarounds on something that used to simply work, as well as it was. I don’t know who I was writing to, but it was a cheery atmosphere which makes me wonder if it was a girl; cheerful, much like my “carrier wave” here. My last letter came too late in the day for any reply, so, maybe Monday. I was surprised and pleased that I had only contacted them yesterday and got two replies back…… the same day !

Any inclement weather that can or even might keep Andy from his “anointed” rounds is a big deal !-Oh, and Hi, Dry !!..I see that Chalkie or is that Clayface, is at it again !..This Pretty Crappy world has taken our “fight clouds”, John. ..@s49navSome nice poetry there, bub !Haven’t seen yer mug round these parts before that I cin remember. If you’re new, Glad t’ have ya !  Pardon this sideways in, but we’re working with a situation that I would like to fix without having to “reinvent” myself, which means having to schmooze my ass off with the right party(s) !..That (LO) bottomy bottley stuff explains the poster’s major malfunction. I will never say an unkind word again……. just wisecracks ! ..@Number ThreeIt is good that you are here, even if you don’t always have something to say. Some days I feel like not talking much, like now even. I have been working outside and have my new backup fuel pump handy and have versed myself in the install process for when that day comes, as it surely will. I checked my brakes and under carriage the other day…… on the car ! -I have fastened the panel back to the floor that I had cut out for accessing the pump. I expect to put some pics up after I settle down some.- I will be going to see the cowboy Hippy group tonight. Joe wants to go too. He has family coming over today, but they will prob’ly be gone before we go. The show starts at 8:30 and goes to 11:30.-I hope you are doing great today, Too ! (Happy Father’s Day – - – - – - – - – - Celebration !)

Hey! Am I becoming out of step or are some folk getting a bit weird around here?.Some of these messages age getting a little bit cryptic. Don’t forget we can all read what you say.

HI MAN OF THE MOUNTAIN!

I OWE AN E, I KNOW! IT WILL GET THERE SOMETIME! I WAS IN MY GARDEN ALL DAY! GUESS WE HAVE A LOT TO “TALK” ABOUT! :-)

Ain’t that AMAZING THOUGH! They will reply to our Dude, but won’t let him come back as a poster? WHAT’S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE,

I hope everyone is having a great day. To all of you who are fathers, I hope Fathers’ Day brings you much happiness. I had my Fathers’ Day dinner tonight. My son prepared steak dinner, and quite well. Then he improvised desert. I’m now listening to “Cool Jazz” radio from Pandora and doing my evening GoComics/Facebook thing. Life is good. Hey Gweedo, hope you can come back soonest.

Happy Father’s Day, John Pike!

Good night Cappers!
