Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 18, 2023

Proven right.

I think they need a new TV now.

Let’s see Andy try out for Britian’s Got Talent with whatever is considered his talent.

Not to worry; the long hooked pole will drag him offstage before he can get the first “twang” out!!

I miss the Gong Show.

Bob on the telly? Ran out of Lassie reruns?

Andy’s largesse left Bob a little short.

I wonder what strings Bob pulled to get himself on that show?!

The Gong Show? Dilly! Dilly! Remember Gene, Gene the Dancin’ Machine? Or how ’bout the time J. clap P. clap Morgan flashed her hoots? Dilly! Dilly! Indeed.

Guitar Bob has as much talent as the person who did the painting over the sofa….FREE ELDO!!!!!!

“Yes folks, that was Dick Davidson, from Devon, dancing a disco duet with his delightful dalmation dog Danny! Aren’t they delicious?

Interesting factoid about the town:Hartlepool is known for allegedly executing a monkey during the Napoleonic Wars. According to legend, fishermen from Hartlepool watched a French warship founder off the coast, and the only survivor was a monkey, which was dressed in French military uniform, presumably to amuse the officers on the ship.

Aside from the extremely lame cut-n-paste job, today’s gag is rather funny – not certainly up to the standards of the Master. How I miss the Classic Capp Cartoons that used to be provided by certain dedicated readers…

Funnier misread. I transposed Dick and Dog. Poor Richard.

Oh my!

The good news is he’ll be easier to turn off.

I remember a woman with a dancing dog on Britain’s Got Talent. A judge decided to let them stay on for another week saying, “I can’t bear to break two hearts at once.”

Hahahaha! This made me grin.

Good thing the Capps don’t own any guns or Andy would make like Elvis and blast the TV the minute Guitar Bob came on the screen. (At least I don’t know if they have any guns.)

Is Eldo posting anywhere else? I tried to follow what sort of looked like a distorted link in his Intro but didn’t get anywhere.

“! That’s my e-mail and no “distortion”; It is in “code” — crack It”

You don’t want to be reachable do you ?  Look at mine. It is done to prevent SPAM bots from “Hoovering” yet is readable to people eyes.

Sounds like Andy’s been watching a wee bit of Perry Mason.

Those that can’t do, criticize.
