OK, I’ll just copy and paste what I did last week, since that is apparently what Mahoney, Goldsmith, and Garnett did:
OK, another three-panel daily strip (panels 4, 5, and 6) that has been padded with useless filler panels (1, 2, and 3) to make a Sunday strip. This seems lazy and cynical to me. I always thought that the point of the Sunday strip is to use that extra real estate to either explore a character or plot point in more depth, or to set up a more complex punchline.
It’s true that I’m not a comic strip artist, and I don’t know how much work goes into doing a daily comic strip for years on end. Also, I should just appreciate the comic—especially a legacy comic like “Andy Capp” that I’ve loved since the ’70’s—for what it is.
But it’s BECAUSE I love “Andy Capp” that I complain about a drop in quality. If I didn’t care, I would certainly just stop reading it. And, at the end of the day, the gags, stretched out or not, are still classic Capp, so of course I keep tuning in, to read, enjoy, and occasionally complain.
I don’t really know what computer cookies are for either. But I’m gonna go to Google and find out: “An HTTP cookie (also called web cookie, Internet cookie, browser cookie, or simply cookie) is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored on the user’s computer by the user’s web browser while the user is browsing”
There you have it!
Andy won’t be drunk yet. It’s broad daylight! I have never seen Andy drunk during the day. I’ve only seen him with a hangover.
Yep. The political comments should stay at the Editorial Cartoons, whether the over-opinionated morons like it or not.
It’s actually pizza and a can of Vimto (soft drink) today.

Of what I’ve heard, black smoke coming from the Vatican means no new pope has been elected since the death or abdication of the previous one.

The problem is that the Editorial Cartoons are together with the regular ones now.
