Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 12, 2013

I wonder if both Andy and his mother-in-law can read each other’s penmanship.

At least Flo will get a bit of peace and quiet.

I wish my mother-in-law would lose her voice. Oh what honey, yes I fixed the lock in your mother’s door. (Now I can lock it from the outside. )

Andy musta got Mum’s flue fro beating being near Mum. Now Mum’s the word for what He’d like to sai to Mum. Prolly like to drink some Mumms too. Mum’s Mumms that is.

I got on with my MIL, it was my own mother that drove me to the wine bottle. Not a happy woman, that. Didn’t like me either, Told me every day that she didn’t want children (1) but my dad insisted. What, gee thanks!

Man, I saw that punchline coming from 50000 feet!3/10

I can see Andy and Flo’s mum losing their voices from yelling at each other, but from the flu? Anyone ever lost their voice from the flu? I’ll give Mahoney 1 point for the crane in the background, but that only gets the strip up to a 2.5.

My thoughts exactly. And well said.

I’m having my daughter teach me sign language for just such an occasion.

The flu bug isn’t the only thing Andy and Flo’s Mum will be suffering from…It’ll be writer’s cramp now.xxx

3 days of AC minus the A…I’m liking it!!What I am NOT liking is being redirected to the Puzzle Society becuz goatcomics is updating/recreating whatever it is that they are screwing up on now…

@ Great Gweedo’s GhostHow are the floods treating you? Hope you and Eddie and Ed etc. are ok and not being washed away…

Tertiary Thursday Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

I have a new cat…a rescue…and this pic reminds me of it and all my many blessings…

Thanks for all the virtual hugs guys, maybe we could start a club. “Orphans with two parents” or summat (as Andy would say) Linda I left you a note on Ten Cats re; the new baby, and NO FAIR you having 65 degrees and I having 95degrees!

It has been English raining here this week and my little buddy has been hanging out under the overhang lately. I have enough odds and ends (junk?) that he finds a dry spot and parks. I have looked in on him several times today. I moved toward him one time and he moved over, so I didn’t push it. I’m thinking we’ll not get that close again as he is no longer naive and innocent. Childhood is quickly slipping away…… -I say with certainty that we all have old experiences that are best left to gather dust and let fade in the rearview mirror. To relive some experiences can only cause bitterness and/or sadness. Move on and be happy ! -Tammy went home to Michigan, but didn’t stay as long as I thought she might. She bought me a jar of “sugar beet jam” at the Amish store but couldn’t bring it back on the plane since it is a container containing 8 oz. or more of a liquid despite being “factory sealed”. Her sister is coming out in November and will bring it with her. I gave a big ol’ jar of salsa to Ken, my comics strip reprints books library; I gave the other one for general shop use. Bob told me that his group will be playing at the Isabel Farm Stand Saturday. (Hippy) Paul left to go to school so that he can become an addictions counselor. I believe personal life experience is part motivator. The new guy plays guitar, mandolin and fiddle. should be interesting to hear how that will shakeout.-I saw the comment you referred to. Not kind, but I have seen worse by creatures who are allowed to wander the neighborhood as unchained vicious dogs re; our very own resident mosquito. I-we, have left a pretty fine piece over at Dick Tracy that has gotten good reviews.-..Taking an opportunity to say, Thank You Three, for your part in posting those nuggets. The little tack on bits the boys add make the Classics pop !

Your comment cheered me up a lot. I wouldn’t mind talking about the fun times of my childhood if I could remember it all. But then I would get a certain person saying to me “There are no mention of childhood or fun times in today’s strip”-That was really nice of Tammy to get you a little gift. Hope she enjoyed her time with family.-Sorry for bringing politics to Andy Capp. Yesterday was the first and last time.-Best of Luck to ‘Hippy Paul’! I hope he manages to get that position. What is the new guy’s name?-You are welcome for the old Smythe classics I used to post. I would still post them but you know what they say… “Three’s a crowd”-May your Thursday be an awesome day and thank you again for your comment.

You left out the H in Madphoney^^Actually, I was calling him an insane horse _’ (It’s really hard to come up with new names, I guess I was grasping at straws!)

And yes, I know there isn’t an “E” in pony, but, it’s because Mahoney has one, just a Toilet isn’t really spelled Toylette

Maybe in the future, “Toylette” could be “Dimwitt” or “Nitwitt”?^^I think (?) I may have used Dimwit already

I took some gentle nudging about my earlier comment. Yes I was playing to a stereotype. I truly love my MIL and now that she lives with us I don’t want her to leave. When recovering from my back surgery, she was indispensable. Some days, though———

Gweedo got your last one to me will try to ans tmr. Been a LONG day for me! I did ans. your last one from Monday? Or there abouts. *I HAD TO DO AT LEAST THAT! So you didn’t think I disappeared!

See y’all tomorrow night. Got a busy day tomorrow. Night all.

Have a goodnight Cappers!
