Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 21, 2021

Why does Andy need to clean out his frothing beers?

some fight cloud! i have been biffed plenty of times but never blasted…and “Shorty” is what insults you Andy?

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andy Capp’s selective hearing has got him into a fight with Norris , but actually Andy IS short :o) my avatar is a photo of an SUV belonging to the mob impounded by the law and used to fight crime , ironic isn’t it? come passerai la vostra Domenicha mio meno vecchio amico ? our Sunday should be mildly busy but we should cope I hope , we both are in a good mood , no early morning drive, no shopping or errands to run ,just stay in the house and keep hydrated ill 9.30 when we shall watch our Archbishop celebrate the Holy Mass on television keep safe and a bientot pal

The first rule of survival in bar fighting is always pick on the big guy. He might hurt you and teach you some manners, but if you go picking on the little guy he’ll just kill you.

From the long ago…

@Gweedo it’s legal here Murray

So how are things in Mayberry, Cowlowraido?

Not bad not bad, Lingual. Days are chilling but nice 50s and 60s ones are still with me. Hit a dispensary just a couple miles or so east on this road the other day for the first time. It is in unincorporated county, so one less tier of tax (city) to be hit by.

Saw my old landlord Joe at his retirement residence in Littleton yesterday. He is getting on well and his oldest girl, Cynthia (Cindy) is handling his affairs now including this property I am on. They are both sweethearts. I have been in this location for 19 years.

My current upstairs neighbor is a co poster here and today we put drapes on her windows, which cover the basic blinds that have always been on.

Is this their normal way of warming up for a game of snooker?

that’s a flippin short statement___

What a difference a letter makes.

More fights, arguments, discussions etc… are started over misunderstanding what the other person just said.

WHAT? NO "What’s all this, then?

Yeah SHORTY, You gonna be seeing the hoosegow SHORTLY.

Hmm.. a blat. I don’t believe I’ve seen a blat in here before today. Last time I saw a blat it was being emitted from one of Donald Duck’s nephew’s toy coronet. Long ago. Long long ago.

Andy’s hair trigger and bad hearing makes a nasty combination.

Flapping? Andy’s ears can flap? Oh, right – flipping. Guess I need to clean out my flipping eyeballs.

Mr Capp is old, speak with a louder voice.

And when Mr Capp questioned him on it, Norris replied “Shirley you jest”.

I’d bet that Andy WOULD call people “Shirley”!

So much conflict could be settled if ya just listen, closely, and drink beer … ;)

Andy has probably been called worse things than “shorty.” (Most of them might be unprintable.)

My wife does the same thing, only I don’t get clobbered!! (WHEW!!)

The fight started when he hit Andy back.
