Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for March 04, 2020

Li’l Big ’Orn

Would Chalkie have figured this out if he hadn’t been drinking?

He’s actually not wrong about that ;)

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , Chalkie stopped our Hero from Mr Andrew Capp from pondering by stating a stupid answer to the bar quiz , it should have been the battle of “Little big Horn” only one horse survived :o) my avatar is of my birth sign Leo roaring his head of because he is in a good mood like I am how was your day ? ours should be very busy but calm I hope, BCNU pal

Yes Chalkie is right, Custer’s last stand!

Chalkie’s on a Bull Run tonight!

The winners called it the Battle of the Greasy Grass.

Would very many people in,England even know,Custer and,Little Big Horn. A battle that took place in,America.

Chalkie later said, ‘Little Big Horn? How can it be both little and big at once? Why not just call it “Horn” and be done?’

I didn’t know either, Chalkie.

When Custer died he was wearing a bow tie and an Arrow shirt.

kinda surprised that Brits are aware of this bit of American history

The defeat of Custer has been depicted in many films over the years. The British, and any people who watch a lot of Hollywood movies, will have heard of it.

Allegedly, Custer’s last words were “Don’t take any prisoners.” Only the US has no sense of history, and it ain’t gettin’ any better.

he’s upset he didn’t think of it first

It was reported that Custer remarked to his Native American scout, “Looks like we are done for!” His scout replied, “What do you mean ‘WE’ white man?”

There is a monument .. starts here…

That is right, but I do not think that is what they were going for.

Obviously.

Wow! You don’t say?

My day was good. I didn’t go out anywhere but I plan to tomorrow. On Friday I’m at the bingo and my favourite buffet restaurant. Do you still have your favourite meal on a Friday? I’ve forgotten what that was.

Take care, pal.
