Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 09, 2016

Hold that lightning rod a little higher, will yer.

Oye Lucky for Andy it’s Flo in the boat with him and Not Broomie Luv,or there’d be a LARGE shark swimming about waited to catch them.

@Beviek, I want to colour that cat one! Looks like fun!

If I were Flo, I wouldn’t mind the rain but the thunder and lightening is another matter.

I once saw a Smythe original (which I can’t find now) where Andy and Flo are walking down the street and a car goes recklessly careening past. Andy says something like “Flippin’ women drivers!” Flo responds “That was a man driving.” Whereapon Andy responds “Well, he drives like a woman!”.

@Number sixAfter 7 years I finally give up on this strip…-I’ve been reading this strip since I was wee lad. I remember a lot of strips that have disappeared or have been taken over by lesser hands. I miss Pogo, Gordo, Miss Peach and Peanuts. There are some strips I feel are now in better hands. I prefer Guy Gilchrist’s Nancy over Ernie Bushmiller’s. I also know that comic strips evolve over time. Andy and Flo now speak a more universal English. The feel of the particular dialect they spoke is gone (and truthfully, that is what I miss the most from the older strips). The other changes in this strip don’t bother me as much. Every once in a while it is still funny. What I like the most about this strip is this forum. I enjoy the comradery and friendship that occurs between the posters, despite the trolls who would like to take that away.

Chosen at random using 2016 as the search key. Next will be 2017 whatever that may be.
