Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 16, 2013

… the sound of the ambulance sirens to give Chalkie medical attention

Andy is using his head for a change in lieu of bending an elbow at the bar.

I remember trying to watch Cricket once, couldn’t figure out what was happening… the guy was up to bat for what seemed like an hour and the scoring made no sense whatsoever, after about 20 minutes I found myself confused and bored out of my mind, like soccer, Cricket makes a pretty good replacement for a sleeping pill.

That’s some really nice work there. Puts somebody to shame!

Re: More Muggins!

“Snicker!”

Thank you for your irrelevant comment. You don’t know who’s been flagged and who hasn’t.

Not being a member of your illustrious group ;-) I would like to say I like to read your comments, or at least as many as I can fit in }-) It is a shame that some people have to come along and bring such negativity to a group that is having fun (which isn’t at the expense of others).

When you read your daily comics what you want is to be amused, if you can get that lightheartedness from the comics that’s great, if you can also get it from the comments that is brilliant :D

In general the worst thing about any situation is not the people being complained about but the person doing the complaining, I was recently sitting in a pub restaurant where a woman was making use of of the pub’s WiFi connection and having an enthusiastic Skype call with her relatives, two other women were loudly whining about her saying how off-putting it was. After about 10 minutes someone from another table got up and walked other to the two complainers and bluntly said, ‘Will you two just shut up, you are ruining the atmosphere’ needless to say this brought chuckles from everyone and stunned silence from the complainers. We all went back to enjoying our meal and listening to the free soap the other woman was providing us :-)

So one thing I have to say to your naysayer who in his own (lonely satellite) way is a part of your group is, ’Will you kindly shut up you are interfering with the lighthearted atmosphere ’

You sit around all day long hitting the “FLAG” and “UNFLAG” button hundreds of times? So that’s how it’s done!

Right!

Cricket is a gentleman’s game, but Andy plays with a Hartlepudlian attitude…

Sometimes, his wounds are self inflicted…

Excellent opinion! You spoke your mind (and the minds of many, I believe). a have myself been lashed for making a similar comment. They will not enjoy Your opinion. Prepare to be torched.

I really like that Muggins. Be careful what you ask for there.

@MikeyjHow do you know Andy is bald?

Opal’s take on the Prof..

Andy and Chalkie are playing for the same team, hence the similar dress. Chalkie really shouldn’t be wearing sunglasses though as they apparently obscure his vision.

Same Slop, different Night Dept [late Mon.]Gweedo Murray said, pretty early on*

Great Muggins, Six !!!The artwork isFAB !..My Flag Freaked, then flew !..That is so Andy in first and last. Makes me think the other fella is being sarcastic.

@Beviek & No.6In the Muggins strip it looks like we are only seeing 3 of about 6 panels.

They sai Cricket Matches go-on indeterminably, but for Andy there’s a clear “stoppage time.”

[deja vu mode:] There naturally have to be Breaks tho for Players to “answer the call”.

Not every call gets answered tho Right right? Moogly!

you’ll also notice Chalkie’s squared off heels, as opposed to Andy’s sausage shoes, this IS Chalkie

Call it “he’s having a ball !”

That’s Andy, not Chalkie.

Baseball and golf are also fairly soporific. ;-)^^True, in my own case the only team sport I don’t find boring is hockey

@ Number Six

Very funny, by the way!!!!!

I have never (and never will) understand Cricket.

@No. 6I went back to take another look at your Muggins and it’s GONE.

Appropriate Day of the Week Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

Apropro of nothing, just liked it…lol

@No. 6(Back to my Muggins confusion)I may be beating a dead horse BUT as I remember, it seemed I was seeing the bottom portion of a panel above and (possibly) somebody slipping on a wet floor. If I’m wrong shoot me.

Again i feel compelled to thank (almost) everyone for the extra comics and the lively banter among friends.I dont stop in as much as i should. This place is fun, except for the rants from your local troll, and its supporter(s). I must say thou, some (embarrassing) part of me is happy that it does not infect my favorite comment and chat comics.Im sorry that it infects yours.

Late to the party … again ! My own observation on this poorly drawn strip, was I thought Chalkie was wearing green sun glasses in the last panel, which obviously didn’t help him at all.

I’m sure that it is a great game. As an American I have totally missed having a chance to learn anything about it. im sure that most people outside of North America and Japan don’t have a clue about Base Ball.I’m sure I am the porer for it.The only Cricket I am familyer with is one of these guys.

@Chalkie j/Eldo/WhomeverI have been looking back at some older Andys and I notice somebody calling himself Smythe Symbol has high-jackedyour posts. You’re not going to take this lying down are you?

I wasn’t going to join in today. BUT when are we going to learn to IGNORE TROLLS. Why spend your valuable time responding to them? I am being guilty of wasting time because of them right now.

If I might ask you a question…..why do you comment on this site? If you like to read the cartoons, that’s good. If you like to read the comments….then just ignore what you don’t agree with. If you like to control people….then become a psychiatric nurse...I often see things I don’t agree with but I know other people have different views and i carry on to the next comment. If I might ask; just what are you a professor of?

I am friends on Facebook with my old High School Band director. I’ll post the green cricket on there just for him. Thanks. He is also a good nature photographer and gardener. He should get a kick out of that one. Re: Cornbread. A lot of the old folks around here like to put crumbled cornbread in a cold glass of buttermilk.
