Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 24, 2014

Look out…. Big Brother is watching us. We’ll have to start encrypting our comments.

This comic is basically a few jokes expressed in different ways and it’s hard to come up with exciting comments. I haven’t noticed any ‘gossip’. I’ve noticed people who care about each other and share a little of their lives which many of us find very interesting. I love the fact that we can talk to people – as LadyKat said – from all over the world.

I would just go home…

We aren’t just people gossiping, we’re friends. We come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and from all over the world. Where else can you experience that? We do comment on the comic, after all the comic is the common thread that binds us together, and along the way we get to know each other, by sharing our lives at the moment. What a sad world if no one shared and just put a dry comment down.

Gweedo – “That thing broke my leg !!” – Murray said, about 23 hours agoIt would be simple except I don’t know Heather well, at this point, that I would ask for her guest room as a spot for you to roost. (An old man once told me my house looks like a garage sale) She is the gracious hostess type though. She is currently on a trip to west Colorado and Moab in Utah. As a Capp Clubb member and of a young age of not being a money bags, your out-of-pocket expense would be minimal. You being here would be my excuse for traveling down to Westminster to meet other Clubber(s). I’m not sure your Region 2 discs would work for me. I have yet to purchase a multi region player for the “Still Game” DVDs I hope to one day procure.-I doubt he would bite you on purpose, but accidents do happen. Puppy-dog will bite in competing with you to get the ball off the ground. Not to cause injury but out of the excitement of the game. -If it helps; I am looking at the strip on a separate larger monitor than what the laptop has. Do you have a laptop ?Not to worry; my Medusa filter is turned All The Way Up !!! -(Yes, I’m starting up the joke again)Arn’choo the “Jagged Little Pill” ? -Sunny and windy here. I have to finish painting trim before loading the pics.-I never knew med/dental people to the point of being informal. A mixed blessing. Not in those places on a regular basis. I hear young ladies go for older men with money and high community standing. -Based on today; trepidating on Thursday. Hope yours works out well.__________________________________________________I’m sure you’ve got a nice house. I live in a semi and there are detached houses above the field round the corner from me.-When you referred to Heather as the “boss” in one of your previous comments, I knew straight away who you were on about but you didn’t say her name at the time.-What are Region 2 discs?Merlin had my finger once. I got it out just in time.-Yes I have a laptop. It’s a Toshiba and the previous one I had was a Compaq-As you can see, my avatar is not me anymore. I did take a photo the other night but decided not to use it as an avatar yet. Much to your relief I’m sure! See? I’m not that cruel.-Like I did with Frank Zappa, I’m listening to the full Alanis Morissette album as I’m commenting.-Number Six posted this last month and it’s become my new favourite song. It really makes me want to apply for a job at the detective agency:

Personally, I do like older men. Some women like men who are younger than they are. I guess we’re all different.-I hope you have a Happy “Finally” …. Oops. That’s twice I’ve thought it was Friday. I must be desperate for tomorrow to come.

Aa long as Andy doesn’t have to undergo a strip search!.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-27128214

Today’s episode was actually funny—something the grammar Nazis will never be. (Another thing the grammar Nazis will never be is intelligent……) I was trying to post one of the legendary Basil Wolverton’s drawings as an example of what Flo’s Mum might very well look like, but I couldn’t get it to work. Anybody else care to take a shot at it?

Semi….. called an artic (short for articulated), here but I expect you know what Princess Three means..I grew up calling the thing a truck and I refuse to use the word “lorry” – it sounds ridiculous.

The tractor trailer part cracked me up. I live in a semi-detached house. The definition is here if you’re a bit puzzled: Link-Thank you for explaining the DVD region thing. It was appreciated!-I got my Toshiba laptop in 2011. My cousin took my Compaq one as the hinges were loose but it still worked. I don’t know if he’s still got it. Glad your laptop is still alive and kicking.-I enjoyed listening to the album. It was very good. I’m familiar with the second song but I don’t know where I’ve heard it.-I’m a brunette not a blonde and I don’t really bother with my nails but I’ll be waiting all right…-It’s been really hot lately. Definitely not looking forward to summer. It can do one. LOL.-I’m in college and I love it! I think I’ll cry when I leave. I’ve met some lovely people there.-Well, See you Friday.

I stopped reading comments on Andy Capp, not because of the gossip, but because of the negative and hateful thing some people were saying about/to each other.if people are gossiping, and I’m not interested i just skip over themEZSometimes the gossip is funnier and more fun than the comic, and as for going someplace else, my friends are here.My chat buddies like the comics and each otters company.Even if it is just virtual company.And now, something that has nothing at all to do with todays comic…

MY rule is,“Keep it fun”.

@Number SixThanks for posting the Beautiful Girl of the Month. That’s an excellent candidate for what Flo’s Mum looks like. By the way, I have several “Plop” issues but they’re buried under a pile of other things in my basement. “Plop” also had the (currently) great Sergio Aragones doing his great cartoons.

Fun will never be dead as long as people post skits like that…
