Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 20, 2012

Instead if letting Flo spend pounds on new trousers, Andy, maybe you should lose some pounds.

AshburnStadium

The only names that I remember from the 1950 Whiz Kids, were Richie Ashburn and Robin Roberts.

Since you are a Pennsylvania liquor law maven, I would like for you to explain the regulations for beer and light wine. As far as I know, beer stores can sell beer by the case and nothing less. Taverns can sell beer by the six pack. I do not know the regs about light wine.

I am originally from Maryland, where each individual county has its own regulations. Montgomery County has county owned liquor dispensaries, and beer and light wine are sold in food stores. I do not know about the other counties. Also, liquor licenses are limited to one per county for chain stores.

Since I am close to Virginia, I notice that the state has state liquor stores and beer and light wine can be sold by anyone that can get the license.

Thanks for listening.

Reminds of when Mick Jagger lost a button to his trousers. Wouldn’t want that to happen Andy, now would we?

I know how he feels. After a year off work sick, I found on my return a few weeks ago that my uniform didn’t fit wonderfully well. Perhaps it shrunk. Well, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Reminds me of an old “Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm” cartoon where Fred and Barney find their WB-lodge uniforms too tight, and figure they’ve shrunk—and then Barney walking up to a mirror says “maybe our uniforms DIDN’t shrink, but we swelled”, and they go on a diet (which causes Fred much difficulty—addendum that it would have done him good to stick to it). At the end they find out that their children have messed around with the uniforms (plot hole: Bamm-Bamm is larger than Barney).

Andy’s not about to start an exercise program…

In the old days both Andy and Flo kept in shape by trying to beat the hell out of each other………..and Flo actually won a reasonable amount of the time, for that matter.

Weren’t the beer Andy, they shrank in the wash, don’t cha know.

Today’s strip was too painfully close to home. I’ve been fighting the battle of the bulge – a losing lately. Doctor said I had Dunlaps disease – my belly done lapsed over my belt.Like Andy, I think I’ll have another ale then a bit of a lie down.

LOL LOL… This one is soooooo funny.

It’s your own fault, Andy.

If Andy had a computer he would order clothes online from the comfort of his own couch.

Andy Capp 1958

Flo had better not buy him trousers TOO big.

We don’t want THIS to happen again!

Bacon sandwiches? YUMMY!

Is there anything better than bacon? My supper is going to be a grilled chicken breast, slathered with BBQ sauce, piled high with bacon, covered in melted provolone cheese. And yes, a couple of beers.

Thank goodness for elastic waistbands!

“Is that anything like BLTs???”

very similar, but they leave out the lettuce, tomatoes and mayo and replace them with lots of bacon fat!

Bottled ketchup, for when you want to slow down life’s hectic moments.

Andy should try Hungarian Turkey-6-8 slices of rye bread loaded with sliced onions, salt, paprika and cayenne pepper. Take a chunk of bacon the size of your palm, score in a diamond pattern and place on skewer-roast bacon over outdoor wood fire until grease runs and drip grease on bread. When good and saturated eat the bread. When bacon all fried out then eat the bacon. Of course you have to have something to wash all the bacon, salt and pepper down so you have a 6 pack of brew per person. Great way to spend a sunday afternoon. It sounds disgusting but ohh is it good. Of course the next day you dare not make any plans that take you away from home for obvious reasons. (who needs ex-lax-just pass the lipitor and xenical.)

And for the ultimate bacon sarnie, sammie or sangie you should fry the bread in the bacon grease, slather with ketchup and pile on the bacon!

Bacon sandwich on hot buttered toast with grape jelly. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it.
