Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 13, 2023

Andy, it’s just a movie. The brewery was just a set.

it’s ok, Andy … it’s just a movie … no real brewery was “hurt”

They ought to make a movie about my uncle. He fell into a vat of burning whiskey at the Hibbing brewery. Six men tried to save him, but he fought them off bravely.

In Utica NY, Utica Club beer brewery burned down a few years ago, They rebuilt….why?

I’d cry, too—if Capp wasn’t in that brewery when it caught fire and escaped!!

Strange Brew?

Go figure!

Andy has his priorities.

Look at the bright side, Andy. It was the Bud Lite brewery and was out of business, anyway.

Andy was concerned about all those lost jobs and less beer available. Some things are too real.

I can’t believe Flo even had to ask?

Hey, important is important.

Sounds like a real “beer jerker”.

A sensitive situation for Andy!

See my reply to seanfear earlier.

Never fear, it won’t effect your beer consumption at all.

I guess Andy would have felt better if the people died and the brewery was saved.

To the GoatKomix Overlords & Arbitors of Good Taste:

¡¡¡ FREE OUR POETS, WAGS, & WITS FROM EXILE !!! (ಥ‸ಥ)

I’ve cried at the films Titanic and Anne Frank. Both of which were based on real events and people.

There is also a film called “I, Daniel Blake” that was actually filmed in Newcastle! It’s about a guy who has worked all his life and after a heart attack he needs to rely on state benefit (the dole) for the very first time. He has to jump through several hoops to get it. It’s fictional but also very true to life. Those are the kind of films I like.

Search on YouTube for “I, Daniel Blake” The full movie is on there.

Linquist pointed out a matter of local courtesy to me, which I appreciate.

Definitely not a happy ending as far as Andy’s concerned. Regarding movies, maybe we need a break from superhero films, but dramas aren’t the answer. (The world already has enough drama in it.) Instead, what we we need aresilly wacky comedies. (Think: “Airplane.”)
