Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 26, 2013

“Broken Clock”. That’s Gumby Theatre’s highest-possible.

And, gee, do [some] men hate their mothers-in-law.

That’s yer funniest yet! Good thing i ‘get’ you, at least. We should drop this tawdry Crew; They’re beneath Us; head south [i hear Nellcôte is available][not scared of grievous Angel Ghosts, are you?] and start our own Comic, replete with Sycophants of our choosing. And it will be brilliant and relevant. How couldn’t It?!?

I know it’s and old joke about the mother-in-law thing. I have to say that I have a decent relationship with mine. It’s not perfect mind you, but it’s way better than the horror stories I’ve heard. She lives with us and since my back surgery, she has been great. There were times when I couldn’t/wouldn’t get up and get going. She not only helped but encouraged me. Even at her age she would do things I couldn’t without complaint. I am grateful formy MIL and think of her as an angel, most days. My 2 cents.

Hey everybody, hope you are all well.

This should let everybody’s Hair DownWho do You Love? (53:31) . . .the cycle ends with “Mona” XO ;)

Good thing They were following a script, and it wasn’t free-will or anything our fault.

Mandy Capp came, saw, and took.

My ex-mother in law was nicer than my own mother and my ex-wife put together.

Quite – the comments on here have become more and more inane

I guess I’m backa$$ words I get along fine with my inlaws it’s the wife I can’t stand, hmm, maybe I should divorce my wife and marry my inlaws?

@afficionado

I absolutely hated Mr. Bean, when it comes to silent comedy, Atkinson couldn’t even hold up Larry Semon’s* bowler hat, never mind the Big 3: Chaplin, Keaton & Lloyd; on the other hand, I thought “Blackadder” was brilliant, especially the episodes set in Elizabethan times (The portrayal of the great Queen as a spoiled brat was priceless)^*Larry Semon was a minor silent film comic who is best known today for his comedy spoof of the Wizard of Oz that featured Oliver Hardy, as the Tinman (1925)

For some reason, I have two songs on my mind today. Lemon Tree by Trini Lopez and Mother in Law by Ernie K. Doe. I chose MIL>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcFkUHvlf5A

Freakishly Fun Friday Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

My MIL was a good woman all in all, but a horrible mother. I wouldnt even let her baby sit her grandson for any length of time. I hope Mike and Alice dont have too many quarrels over this “extended visit”.

Where does that interest and relevance go , o Μαντείο? Surely we must seek there.

My apologies that this post from our Ghost with the Most is late. This was to have been posted yesterday.

Taz, baby !!

Welcome to the perennially “tanked” crew of Capp. You will be treated with comedy, nonsense, Andy Capp Classic reprints, Pogo reprints, neat links, silliness and real world triumphs and tragedies of the Hartlepool residents [that’s us]. ..Oh, and some talk about the strip and how many feel it doesn’t measure up to its original splendor..You’re welcome, Number Three !It would be a pretty sizable list and I think some of the stuff might “cross borders”, but some that I can recall: Frank Sinatra (the king)Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Julio Iglesius, Tony Bennet, Dean Martin, Barbara Streisand, Judy Garland (big fave), Nancy Wilson (the original black one, and not of Heart), Englebert Humperdink, Lou Rawls, Sammy Davis Jr. (way much !)…… There’s a bunch more… I would have to have the record collection in front of me…. Mom loved her tunes as I do mine.The clucking sounds like it’s worth trying. ¦– ] I will only be borrowing that book. Ken’s a big comics collector and even reads stuff on this site. Don’t know that he talks or not..

.Chawkee j bird sez:

. . is Supermax the Flo one doesn’t want to go-with? Or is that a “Postcard from the Front” ver lain’ low??

I think Flo has already had The Change, so it would be more like Donovan “looking out my window”You’ll have to get a conviction to come see me !

Chalkie, reposted without my erroneous addition to our friends post…it was indeed ALL my error.

mi·sog·y·nist [mi-soj-uh-nist] noun a person who hates, dislikes, mistrusts, or mistreats women.

This is not “our” Number 6! He does not hate women nor would he ever mistreat a woman and really, what on earth would make you call him that??? (he isnt old or miserable either)

I wonder if Flo is considering letting her mother move in with her and Andy?

Andy’s life would not be worth living!

LOL xxx

@Gweedo Murray

Your Mum has excellent musical taste! I’m familiar with a lot of those singers…Mainly because Quartermain used to post me songs on the Mutt & Jeff strip nearly every day.

Ella Fitzgerald was one of them and Dean Martin too.

I really miss WW2Marine… I found out that I was one of the few posters who he last replied to before he left us. I wasn’t the very last but at least I was ONE of them. I actually started crying when I found out but I was lucky to exchange comments with him a few times and I’ll never forget it.

I’m sorry for going on… I think I had to let it out.

I hope you have an awesome day and I hope that you and brothers Ron & Ken are OK too.

We lost George Jones this morning...One of my favorite songs

Couldn’t find Flo’s mum, so her sister will have to do.Andy doesn’t want her to catch her death of cold (I think).

Doing this Peacemeal? You are blessed.

RIP Geoge JonesWhite Lightening

I had fun once

Ok so much for keeping up with the Jones’s…George will be missed and so will Tommy Lee, when its his time. Both Jones’s are/were true artists…

@Chalkie jYou keep leaving out the punch line.

@Linda DeanYou’re doing a fantastic job of posting classics and other stuff. I may now be able to go into full retirement. Keep ’em coming. :-)

There was a time when duets were all the rage in Pop [think “You don’t Send Me Flowers”]. but harmonizing is a Country tradition that goes back to the Porch. The “big 3” were Gram and Emmylou Harris, Conway Twitty and Lorretta Lynn, and George and [here ex-] Wife Tammy Wynette. George Jones and Tammy Wynette- Golden Ring"

.MILs:

@Number Three She would like to have heard that and would have been glad to talk about these people at Length. By her occasional mention, I am sure she was a Rat Pack follower since it comprised people whose material she patronized. Saw Sinatra at the now defunct Melody Fair in North Tonawanda. That was a big deal for her. I was amused by your exchanges with the old soldiers at Mutt & Jeff even though I rarely talked at that strip. I’m touched by your reaction to WW2Marine guy’s passing.Talked to Ron last week and it was good. My day is going okay, hope yours is too !.Nice Blondie and Dag pose there, Linda.

..((((( Dry, bevie and Linda ! ))))).I would think that Cora’s umbrella would have shattered from all those beatings by now.

I will let you all guess who I posted the above for…lol…@BuggerlugsThank you but you and Chalkie and Sandfan and and Numbers 2, 3, & 6 and Stagger Lee are my hero’s. I could NEVER do half as well as any of you!

If i guess who you are, do i get a Prize?

“I guess I’m payin’ for the things that I have If I could go back, oh, Lord knows I’d run But I’m still losin’ this game of life I play Losing and dying with the choices I’ve madeI’ve had choices since the day that I was born There were voices that told me right from wrong If I had listened, no I wouldn’t be here today Living and dying with the choices I’ve made"

GEORGE JONES – CHOICES

That’s so deep It cuts to the marrow.

Flo takes 10 years off her age even at the Drivers License agency

. . . and some People think i do-It to death.

Well, ad hominen means never having to say yer sorry, right? Love to You.

Now that we’ve ‘met,’ oh, well just what kind of punkstery [and how much] can we expect? What is yer angel? Really. No really. i mean yes really. really. really really.

@Number 6Sources?…hmmmm…sources….makes me wonder…the source of that hot story in the Enquirer?…who cares?…the source of the Nile?…I dont remember, but I am sure I will be enlightened…source of the Mississippi…been there, done that (its in Minnesota)…source of classics?…the mirror uk, Sandfan, UofEdinburgh, Stagger Lee, varied, Buggerlugs, very varied, Mikey J… source of fun? Andy Capp @ goat comics of course!

@Chalkie jI like my version of Cora better. You can use it if you like.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh; right then, Mr. Norman Singhgen-Polevaulter. I’ll be sure not to not expect anything.

The Man who thinks someone is full of “Boulderdash” says:.The Strip:

I thought today’s installment is okay. Gets the point across without filler. I wonder… after all the various takes that R.S. presented, how many fresh angles can one come up with given the context of where the characters live and “play” and beer, mainly, being a central theme of life. Not like they’re doing amphetamines, coke, weed or any other stuff. There’s only so many settings that they function in.

.After doing the last George Jones link I found a 59 minute long BBC Four documentary from 2004 on The Man in Black

My fave George Jones song is The Corvette Song…you had to admire “The Possum”’s sense of humor…

My thoughts exactly!

Have you noticed that the above demented troll shows up at the full moon. It’s like a lunar cycle. Damn, she really cramps our style. Send her some Midol and get it over with.

I quick note to all my Capper friends ( I’ll repeat this for all my BS buddies on that site. )… Unfortunately, circumstances will in the next few weeks limit my activity here. I will monitor, as much as possible, but I am in the process of a late life change.It appears that after 15 years in Sarasota County, Florida, I shall be leaving and if all goes according to plan, will be moving to Ecuador on May 8th. As soon as I find a place ( and wi-fi ) I will be back full time. I’ll be staying with my daughter and grandson next week, prior to departure, so I will be in and out fairly regularly but after the 8th, I can’t guarantee anything.Stay tuned for posts from Guayaquil !

To Bev from our friend in Colorado..A real piece of work !
