Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for March 25, 2014

For those who are wondering, 1 stone = 14 pounds. Therefore, Big Betty actually lost about 70 pounds. No wonder Flo felt insulted!

Big Betty is now little Betty and Flo inherited the name. I hope they were nice clothes. And a new coat! (lord knows Flo needs one)

5 Stones = 70 Pounds OR 31.8kg WOW

If Flo lose pounds, she’ll be out of the comic script.

A left-handed compliment without the compliment.

Al Bundy: “A fat woman came into the shoe store today, and she had two other fat women orbiting her!” Once again the art is taking the easy way out: no perspective, no real movement (despite Andy tossing the darts). Chalkie closing his eyes inexplicably in the second panel seems designed to trick the reader into thinking the artist put a little effort into that panel

Congrats to Big Betty; condolences to Flo.

that was the sweetest ever! we brought home our daughter and put her in the bassinet. I went to check on her ‘cause she had been fussy, and our cat Wendy was curled up next to her and both were fast asleep. She has been a “cat person” her whole life! (no wonder) Some cats are “mama cats” and some aren’t. I loved the yellow kitty’s response!

Feel so sorry for Flo.

Gweedo – It’s not like the way it looked ! – Murray said, about 23 hours agoCold and gray today. Started stringing my deer fencing yesterday. The store has the two little windows now. They are custom built in Missouri and shipped here. Joe’s daughter from Ohio is coming today. -If your “real” horse had a brother his name could be “Marco”. -Was that the “greener” grass on the other side of the fence ?-Happy “Tootsday”._________________________________________________So you have our English weather over there?-I hope Joe’s daughter has a lovely visit. How long is she staying for?-Yes, I was just thinking about that. If I had 2 boy horses who were brothers, I would name them Marco & Polo.-There’s not much grass on my side of the fence… I thought I got stung by a nettle again on the back of my leg but the nettles don’t reach that high.-Happy Tuesday to you! I hope you’re having a good one.

Why do Del Boy and Trigger in ‘Only Fools & Horses’ remind me so much of Andy & Chalkie in this short clip?

@beviekCats massaging dogs, and a hot weather ear worm! (Did you get any snow yesterday? We had like an inch in the sky, with none surviving the trip to the ground……..)

You never know..
