Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 26, 2022

Flying rats

@Number Three Today’s strip Is funny , you can’t deny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s argument, my avatar again is a picture of my birth sign Leo roaring his head off because he’ in a good mod like I am , how was your day? ours should be calm , no shopping to do or errands to run , just stay in the house and keep hydrated because it’s hot outside Keep safe and thnks for caring young Lady.

That last frame almost made me Andy’d taken up smoking again.

Poor Andy, that cone was rum raisin flavored i bet!

Never thought Andy would lose a fight with a seagull

where are your darting powers?

Well, Andy’s nose is red. So he’s already half drunk. And couldn’t fight off the sea gulls.

Seagulls need to hold classes for endangered birds on survival techniques. Then California wouldn’t have to close down half the beaches to protect Plovers.

The gulls probably like beer too. But the ice cream is easier to get.

Oh NO!!!!

He must have gotten the ‘Lite’ Ice Cream.

From the look of his schnozz, Capp has been imbibing already!!

BTW, where are there beach resorts in the UK?? One would think that the climate was too chilly to sit on the shore.

Now if that had been beer, the seagulls wouldn’t have stood a chance…!

Looks like they are at the beach, but they are literally covered from head to toe. Are they just trying to tan face, arms and ankles? Plus they are alone, are everyone else at the next area, the nudist beach?

Unfortunately for Andy, gulls have no guile – only gall.

Surprised ice cream is still in the waffle cone…..only in the comics!

Sea gulls are flying pirates!

Andy often reminds me of "the young priest Father Seacon, whose nose was as red as a beacon, by saying “It’s white”, fifty times day and night, he cured it and died an archdeacon."

The Clam Shack, Kennebunkport Maine has signs posted that the gulls will grab your lobster roll right out of your hand. I saw it happen.

I see that yesterday someone described “guest house” as an oxymoron and someone else said that the same is true of the UK’s “public schools”. The phrase “public school” confused me for a time. I later learned that “private schools” and “public schools” both date back to when education was a privilege but “public schools” allowed scholarship pupils so they were more accessible to the public than private schools. Nowadays, fortunately, most of our schools are state schools. Unfortunately, most of our politicians are still over-privileged and privately educated idiots. Most of them were educated at either Eton or Harrow.

Take it from somebody who has lived in a seaside town all her life:

Don’t. Eat. Outside.

This has never happened to me but it can and does happen when you least expect it.

Hey, Affie.

I am writing to you from the library again. It has been a lovely sunny day today with a gorgeous breeze. I remembered to buy a top up voucher for my phone. I was intending to stop using my card for top ups and I only will if I forget to buy a voucher but this time I remembered. Whoo hoo!

I’ve also made an appointment for the dentist. I find it so hard to believe that I haven’t been for over 2 years due to COVID. My appointment is 15th August. That was the earliest one they had! Never mind. I also managed to get my Mum an appointment at the same date and time as well. So today has been a pretty productive day.

I forgot to tell you that yesterday I came across the most beautiful husky called Storm. He was only a puppy and was jumping all over and licking my hand. You could tell he wanted attention by the way he was looking at me. I absolutely adore dogs.

Tomorrow I’m at my volunteering and KFC.

Stay safe, stay well, stay cool and stay happy, pal.

Reminds me of the time a peacock swiped my French fries at the zoo.

Flo’s thought balloon: Why couldn’t the gulls take Andy and leave the ice cream?

I requested Extra Rocky Road!!

He would have put up more of a fight if it had been beer.

Lol. This is so true. A few months ago some black birds in the park attacked me and another lady for our food. She dropped hers, but I held on to mine ;)
