Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 16, 2014

Stan looks like he’s a champion darts player…other than that, I also don’t “get it.” ;)

A varouca (however it’s spelled) is what a plantar wart us called in England.

The whole strip seems off target today……………

And here I thought a varooka was a sort of vacuum cleaner!

It is a very typical typographical error; striking the V key instead of the B.

Your’e right. It’s a painful growth on the sole of the foot. Varooka is just a phonetic spelling which many people think is correct including, apparently, the burke at the shirtmakers!

I think you’ve got it!

Gee, all these wonderful tots to feet and here I thought maybe the creator of today’s strip was thinking of Willie Wonka and ‘Miss Salt’ and her insistence of “Don’t Care How, I Want it Now!”

“You ‘non-commenters’ are helpless dweebs. Comment on the strip or get away from the keyboard!”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I am in complete agreement with you!I have started checking the name of who is posting so that I know which ones to skip. Saves a lot of time.

I wish his T-Shirt would say “Kick my a—” near the rear end.

I would happily do the honours.

Gweedo – It’s legal here !!! – Murray said, about 13 hours ago

I knew a guy who said he liked cloudy days because they are “cozy”. Couldn’t agree more ! I remember some years during grade school, in the month of May there would be the un-odd warm and cloudy day. It felt very special. -As you wish !-Nope ! no braces though I prob’ly would have qualified. Had a tooth pulled once, not fun. Any experience in general that is remembered as most unpleasant and some feeling of relief that it is in the rear view mirror of life. -Okay. I hope your stock adds up !-I like the Kittehs. Very non threatening !-“Sharps” are not allowed though they had been taken in. – Medical for injection needles. – There is another location for accepting unusual substances, like refrigerators and electronics. Don’t know if they accept stuff of a medical nature but they do take styrofoam and the packing peanuts. I wonder if Bob just lost interest at being there. They all survived the terror of the English ex-boss Hilary, although there had been some heavy chaffing. I think the girl employees had the most trouble with her. I’m sure you know about women, claws, all that junk. I have been going there for at least 6 years and Bob was on at least that long. Tammy and the retired guy, Doug, who works in part time, are the only ones left of that crew. I sorta know where Bob lives and maybe I’ll drive through there. I know his pickup truck. -Joe and I went to the home store today and rented the concrete mixer and picked up a pallet with 25 – 80 lb. bags of Sakrete. I had to use Heather’s trailer to carry the mixer separately as it would have been a chore to get all that on just his truck. The post holes are all poured !-Glad you will be with us this week and am glad your illness was short lived if not intense. -Yes it was, and Happy Ruby Wet Tuesday !_____________________________________________________

I agree with him too. I’ve always felt cosy when it’s been raining and I’m in the nice warm house and hearing the rain on the window is one of my favourite sounds. Here is a link of rain sounds on a window in case you ever have trouble sleeping: Link-There have been some people who never got braces when they needed them and now they regret it. I guess they didn’t want to go through the pain. Sorry to hear about your tooth pulling. I’m guessing that’s a “Never again” thing for you. I’m due for a check up at the dentist soon but I have not received “The Letter of Doom” yet.-Hopefully the whole “Taking stock of my life” thing will not limit my time on GoComics but if it does then it can’t be helped and you’ll all have to deal with it like adults. Real life is always going to make sure that it’s the top priority.-LOL. I’ve never been told that my photos of me are threatening. Don’t tell me you are scared! I didn’t think you’d be scared of anything.-What part of England was Hilary from? -I see. Maybe you are right. He’s probably fed up after doing the same thing over and over for 6 years. Sorry, I feel I have to go on a rant here. I hate it when people complain about how much they hate their jobs. For example: They are not happy with the management, pay…etc. They should be grateful they HAVE a job! Rant over.-I expected the flu to last a week but mine lasted 11th Sept – 14th Sept. Not that I’m complaining. -Happy Tuesday to you! Countdown to Finally Friday: 3 days

Varooka is another name for a wart… on the foot.

….and it’s spelt: Verruca.

Does no-one remember Verucca Salt from “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”?

Good guys don’t flag and intelligent sites don’t pay attention to flags that shouldn’t be flags, i.e. posts that by no means violate the site’s terms of service, and couldn’t possibly deserve to be flagged. (Whereas Jim Guess insulted people, a clear violation. He also posted something that had nothing to do with the strip, but that of course is by no means a violation……..) Is today’s the least funny Andy in a long time? I’d be hard put to think of one less funny than this one. Classics darts episodes might take the bad taste out of our mouths!

It’s called a community,Jim! Sometimes the comments go beyond the strip! Many of us talk about what’s going on with our lives,or have fun sending and receiving media posts (like Number Six’s) that have some relevance to the strip. We give and receive advice,praise and even support from each other. We’ve even lost some posters or friends/family of posters,and we’ve given some love and prayers to those folks because they’re part of our community here. You’ll find lots of regulars on this site on all of the strips here. You’ll learn who the Good Folks are (Number Six :D) and the Trolls (where do I START?). You are more than welcome to comment strictly on the strip,but be advised,we talk about more than just the strip here and everywhere. Embrace the love here,and you’ll have fun! NUFF SAID!!!!

@beviekI didn’t see it until today, but your video of the bent light Rube Goldberg contraption was amazing! Thanks for posting it.

I’ve said this many times:IGNORE TROLLS!

Non-CommenterI’m making a non comment. Sue me.

beviek…I like your new avatar! ;)
