a pint will soothe things out i presume

Andy: ((“Hmm… I wonder who they’re talkin’ about?”))

Andy won’t beat him up. He’ll make the guy pay for a pint.

On second thought, both, in that order.

Andy does mind a piece of his mind if it comes with a pint or two…

Shabbat shalom, chag sameach Shemini Arzaret to my fellow Jews.

Andy wouldn’t hit a man wearing glasses, would he?

Fight cloud comin’ up.

Wow, what a weakling.

There’s gonna be a showdown…

Oh don’t worry, man. It’ll just be a biff and a bop or two, a flying hat and shoe, then it’ll be over.

Andy is sensitive to slights. He may take them from Flo; but nobody else.

Me think Andy will finish " piece of mind beer"

Speak of the devil.

“I said pint. I’d give him a pint”

Actually if he told that to Andy he’d probably say “And you point is?”.

Well, maybe were going to find out if Andy can handle the truth.

Don’t talk the talk, unless you are ready to walk the walk.

That drop of sweat is a nice touch!

I see sweat flying off Mr. Purple. Is he going to swallow his words?

Most people who say “I’d like to give him a piece of my mind!” don’ really have a piece worth sharing.

4th panel: Mr. Purple Suit. Jumps through the Pub window to get away from Andy.

“Immediately following Sukkot, we observe Sh’mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah, a fun-filled day during which we celebrate the completion of the annual reading of the Torah and affirm Torah as one of the pillars on which we build our lives.

As part of the celebration, the Torah scrolls are taken from the ark and carried or danced around the synagogue seven times. During the Torah service, the concluding section of the fifth book of the Torah, D’varim (Deuteronomy), is read, and immediately following, the opening section of Genesis, or B’reishit, is read. This practice represents the cyclical nature of the relationship between the Jewish people and the reading of the Torah.

Historically, Sh’mini Atzeret and Simchat Torah were two separate holidays (a day of reflection after the end of Sukkot and a celebration of Torah the following day). However, in Israel and in Reform congregations, which generally observe one day of holidays rather than two, Sh’mini Atzeret is observed concurrently with Simchat Torah."

Thank you snsurone76 for broadening my education.

Go ahead and do it. You won’t be telling Andy anything he doesn’t already know.
