Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 06, 2020

Andy sure loves his pigeons, doesn’t he?

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny , I thought that our HERO Mr Andrew Capp had army training but for sake of his pets he has learned aviation signals :o) my avatar is a picture of a handgun made out of smoking cigarettes entitled that smoking kills , here’s hoping it won’t kill me since it was on a Sunday the 25th of Sep 2017 that I went cold turkey from 60 a day to nil , comment avez vous passe votre Dimanche mon moins vieux ami? our Sunday should be busy but calm if she who must be obeyed gets over her bad mood :o{ keep safe and catch you later pal

Hello, Affie. Good for you. I quiet in 2000 but I was a pack a day man myself. I quiet cold turkey but when I got the urge I would bum a smoke for someone who did not smoke, worked every time. Tell Connie to get out of her bad mood. BTW , what is your favorite nosh?

That reminds me of a trend that started here in China back in 2012 when I lived in Guangdong and the People’s Liberation Army Navy commissioned the Lianoning carrier. Many people were posting photos or videos of themselves doing the “Top Gun Launch” signal. The best one was from one of the safety guards at a subway station—he was pointing towards the tunnel as the train “launched” (left the platform).

Andy’s just taking care of the next important step here, landing the craft. :D

Doubt if they understand paddle-ese, besides, he needs to switch hands.

Like calls to like, no?

Well, Andy does have a clever side.

“Latest from the BBC. A Royal Navy Historic Flight Swordfish torpedo plane crashes in pigeon hut…”

Pigeons equals money equals beer to Andy. He sells pigeons also. Quid Pro Quo.

Carrier landing pigeons.

A pigeon strip, just like the old days. Can ciggies and hammering on Flo be far behind ?

Shouldn’t he be clocking those birds to check their times.

There was a Gilligan’s Island episode that had a homing pigeon in it. What’s interesting is that Sterling Holloway guest starred in it. I remember watching that episode and wondering why he sounded like Winnie the Pooh.

cool beans

Andy’s nick name is Paddles.

Andy’s nick name is Paddles. He probably had LSO training on either the HMS Queen Elizabeth or HMS Prince of Wales.

Good job. He’s taught his buddies to discern color.
