Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 12, 2014

Al should get his glasses re-perscribed.

How old can this strip be?

My screen is only displaying 3 panels, 2 with Flo and one with the TV guy…………?Is mine a fake?

This would fit right in with a Mrs. Brown’s Boys episode. I had been watching some of it on UTube & on a site called ‘NonStopShows’, well yesterday the site pulled it, saying “This video has been removed due to a breach of the terms of use”!! Uh, excuse me, but each episode has 7 or 8,000 views, if something was wrong I think they should have caught on a bit sooner, don’t you think. My first thought was the language in the show but that would have gotten them booted after just a few hundred views. I’m thinking they noticed that someone was watching and thought Ah-Ha we can pull this and make it Pay per View somewhere and make some more Money off of it, but that’s not gonna happen with me, it’s funny but I won’t pay to see it, not that good.

Al should go back to repairing watches. He just can’t seem to join the 21 century.

Nothing like knowing what you’re not knowing… ;)

I just heard about T-rays! Between microwaves and infrared is the Terahertz frequency band of electromagnetic energy.

Unfortunately, I can’t see any of the strips at the moment, just the comments.

“I’m looking for Boocky (whoever that is). Are you stupid? I’m about to do something irrational.”.A hard case is someone who’s solution to most problems is violence. A hoodlum.

It’s really difficult to get a clear picture on those pesky microwaves. Mind you, it’s also difficult to cook dinner in a TV.

Aficionado, I wonder if catnip is illegal in Malta because it shares properties with marijuana?

Very tricky indeed.

Fans of EastEnders will know him..

I know there’s a tendency to keep up with modern times, and therefore Andy didn’t “really” serve in WW II (or he would be over 90, after all), but let’s at least use “comic strip logic” here. Flo is a notoriously bad cook (think of the wife on “Green Acres”), and would no more have a microwave than she would have her own sidewalk cafe. (To be fair, some of her food does end up on the sidewalk, when Andy tosses it out there!) Flo and Andy are funnier in a world of primitive appliances, a metal tub to take Andy’s once a month bath in, where Flo must drag in buckets of hot water to fill it up. More modern electronics (and fads, and so forth) just strike a really jarring note to those of us who have loved Andy for decades.

It WAS the microwave….

PIGS DON’T NEED WINGSFor some reason this reminds me of Pink Floyd.

?! So what’s the new Brown?

…you mean, that WAS a microwave, Flo!

I planted catnip at our cottage. It didn’t grow until the year our cat died. I think she must still be there rolling in it!

“Cold, wet and miserable again today.” Will you please send some of your weather this way? Its hot, dry and miserable with red fire danger icons all over the state… =-O
