I never had a salutation on mine. Just a "Hi null null".

Three months of Andy Capp in my inbox and now I am a fan. I never did like Andy Capp when I was a kid - I thought him an uncouth mean little git. Now I think he is a cuddly lazy sod.

Well done Roger.

Why don't we have a forum for him too?

You're quite right - he has changed personality. "Cuddly lazy sod", definitely sums him up well now. You should buy some of the many old books on eBay that will show this. There's a warmth about the drawing, etc that there didn't used to be.

Of course times change. Today's offering on the web mentions a "calculator", which wouldn't have existed years ago. http://www.comics.com/creators/andycapp/index.html

"Cuddly"?
Somewhere, I have gone horribly wrong.

Roger, perhaps Peepmaster meant "huggable" or "snuggly" - you know, "cute" and "downright neighbourly", er . . . "pussycat"?

Nah - it's just one of those phenomena whereby there is a subconscious confusion, if not morphing, between the author and the character. I often came across this when I was writing Bananaman.

The song The Day we went to Bangor should have been called The Day we went to Rhyll.

You didn't expect it to make sense did you?
It was when I read these bits about places in Wales. I went for a holiday to Anglesey once [once, not twice {still listening?}] and got on the chat with once of the locals who revealed that the song The Day we went to Bangor was inspired by a visit to Rhyll. Apparently Rhyll, not Bangor, is where all the action is, but Rhyll didn't scan.
OK?

I see what you mean. The references to Welsh places came about three pages and four months ago but I see what you mean.

It was more likely to have been called "The Day We Went To Rhyl". (After the Welsh town that has only one "l" in it, - me being extremely pedantic).

Your punctuation is awful: a comma followed by a dash?

Oh, for God's sake, give it here; let me do it:

I had a comma followed by dash the other day. It was no fun, I can tell you. I think the chicken must have been off, and I only just made it.
