Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 27, 2012

Happy Olympics, everyone !Too bad there’s not an Olympic medal for darts. Andy would sure take the Gold.

does Flo need a tetanus shot? (No.6: yours reminds me of a “King of the Hill” episode where Dale gets his cig lit by the Olympic Torch carried by Hank.)

ehh how bout you shouldnt have thrown it

Yes, that was the fundamental indignity, so to speak….

serves you right

Don’t even think of doing what I think you’re thinking of doing! You probably will now.

And somebody got paid for designing those mascots……..? Whatever happened to things like Hurdles the Hare and Paraplegic Penguin?

As good as Andy is, you have to wonder how he could miss that badly…

It was the second dart that really set Flo off.

I never noticed before: Andy tosses darts left-handed.

It is absolutely disgraceful, but not surprising, that the IOC refuses to mention the Munich Massacre. Even at the time, the IOC was more interested in its own image than it was in recognizing the tragedy. As CBS news reported, “In the wake of the hostage-taking, competition was suspended for the first time in modern Olympic history. On 6 September, a memorial service attended by 80,000 spectators and 3,000 athletes was held in the Olympic Stadium. IOC President Avery Brundage made little reference to the murdered athletes during a speech praising the strength of the Olympic movement and equating the attack on the Israeli sportsmen with the recent arguments about encroaching professionalism and disallowing Rhodesia’s participation in the Games, which outraged many listeners.”The only good thing to remember is that the Israelis hunted down and executed nearly all of the terrorists that were involved.

Poor Andy…How could miss.

The one eyed monsters?

At least he didn’t shout ’Double!"

The Olympic mascot Wenlock (l.) and the Paralympic mascot Mandeville pose for photographs as they are unveiled to the media as the mascots for London 2012>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Those have to be the ugliest Olympic Mascots I have ever seen. Nothing cute or cuddly about those two! Good targets for Andy’s darts.

Well, our next President has declared the 2012 London games a disaster waiting to happen. And he wouldn’t lie would he?

FLO say OUCH!!! from the dart threw by Andy

That’s what he gets for throwing with ‘is off-arm (as he does when "’andicapped right out o’ the game")

((((((( TGIF Hugs for the Cappers! )))))))Have a great weekend everyone, and smile brightly…make folks wonder what you’re up to…lol…

Andy’s just not ready for the Olympics.

Is there an Olympic competition for beer drinking or insulting people?

Andy Capp is a little pip-squeak drunk.

Thank you for not putting my copyrighted avatar onto one (or both) of those hideous mascots..Hurdles the Hare and Paraplegic Penguin are my own personal suggestions in hindsight. This is the first time I’ve seen the mascots; such is my interest in the whole Olympic fiasco.

Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, rings bell at Olympics,and it breaks.

Royalties, eh? Well there’s the Queen and….oh; I see what you mean. Well, you owe Infinity Root Projects one packet of Hobnobs and an advance ticket for two to the first showing of your collected works.

And any brainstorms must be restricted to purely flattering and complimentary p**s takes.

Who said this?“England is just a small island. Its roads and houses are small, with few exceptions, it doesn’t make things people in the rest of the world want buy.”

I will probably repeat this comment later, when the strip changes. It’s a bit after midnight (EDT) and I doubt I’ll stay for the change. I want to congratulate all my U.K. friends out there, particularly , the people of London for the most incredible Olympics opening ceremony I have ever seen . It was fabulous. You all should be extremely proud. On behalf of all the Cappers on the other side of the pond, I say, job well done and well done brilliantly ! Cheers !

If it was “Hobnobs” you didn’t understand, I shall explain. They are sweet oat biscuits which I particularly like.
