Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 21, 2020

are they still going to nick him even if he catches a guppy?

Now now… if the sign said No Catching you’d be right to back off. But it’s a fair cop.

@Linguist Aside from the extra panels , today’s strip is only slightly funny , why book our HERO Mr Andrew Capp for fishing in a reserved area when Andy couldn’t even catch a cold? :o) my avatar is a photo of a wife pouring scalding coffee “accidentally” in her hubby’s lap , most probably to prevent him having another father’s day :o) come avete passato il vostro giorno della festa di papa mio piu meno vechio amico, , our Sunday should be busy but quite with no morning Sunday drive and visits from my two sons bearing gifts , but what do you give a man who has everything , no not anti-biotics :o) a bientot amigo

The fish don’t flout the law.

If you put your line in the water with no hook, is that “fishing” or just the best way ever to sneak a nice, long, undisturbed nap?

He’s merely killing worms.

The sarge is leaving well enough alone. He knows where Andy is, and that Andy isn’t causing any trouble.

Well, in all fairness, the sign cannot be read from the land as it is in the water facing anyone out in the water!

That’s an outright lie there, Sarge! Andy has caught several old tyres, colds and the ’flu, too… :D

Like the old vaudeville joke:

“I’m writing a letter to my brother.”

“But there’s no ink in your pen!”

“That’s okay, my brother can’t read, anyway.”

Not true, occasionally he catches bait.

You mean to tell me that when you go fishing you’re supposed to catch fish? I thought fishing was all about peace and solitude and enjoying a few beers while holding a fishing pole and dangling a line in the water.

Starlet wherefore art thou Starlet

So they’re letting Andy off the hook? Sounds fishy.

New sign “Please don’t feed the fish”

It’s not the catching, it’s the FISHING!
