Yes, he was created for a children's comic. I seem to recall that Reg Smythe wasn't happy about it. The "son" was never mentioned in the newspaper strip.

I wondered if perhaps he was illegitimate and never spoken of due to the shame.

I only found out yesterday that Andy Capp has a son. He kept that quiet.

Those Lemon Queen sunflowers must be 10+ feet tall - I feel like a little fairy creature walking between them. Amazing to me that they were just seeds only 3 months ago.

Another lovely photo, Diane. I don't recognise the background. Oh, wait---it's blue sky!

As the years go by more and more flowers show up in my veggie beds. The poor onions started flowering to compete for my attention.

Yes, welcome back, Zesty! And welcome to the "grumpy old man with a troublesome back" club!

Hi, I'm Larry and this is my brother Darrel and my other brother Darrel.

True story - my husband has two brothers called Roger - one adopted, one forever fostered.

Welcome back Zesty White!

Sorry that you both have had chilly summers, maybe you will get a week or two warm weather yet when it turns to autumn and the world tilts again.

In the intervening years since my last appearance on here, I have relocated to Peterhead in Aberdeenshire. It can often be sunny, but the low air temperature and incessant stiff breeze mean that, even on nice days, you usually need a jacket to hand.
To echo Roger, it has been particularly bad this year.

I feel your husband and I are kindred spirits Diane. My wife and kids are camping enthusiasts. I usually help them pack the car, dish out hugs and best wishes as they prepare to depart, and then go back in the house to enjoy sole use of the remote control and my own bed.
I'm blaming a troublesome back and canvas-related claustrophobia, but I think I've just become a grumpy old man...
