Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 12, 2012

Why are you surprised Flo?

Just great for Flo: more mouths to feed & messes to clean up after.

It’s the people who feed them in public who should be called pests….. and the gull feeders.

Flo does find the birds useful sometimes…

Awwwwww! I loved the carrier pigeons.

LOL LOL…. Funny!

Andy Capp 1959

Andy is extremely protective of his pigeons.

That’s what Flo gets for being a arsonist…

Let the pigeons loose, as they say!!!

i think that might make flo go " koo koo "

He deserves the same respect from them as a statue in the park.

Yeah there will be! :)

But Cockney is spoken only in the east end of London, so rumour has it. I’ve known people from that area and they speak quite normally.

It’s also spoken in American films, when a UK voice is needed.

Andy DOES sell some of them! Wish I could post like Eldo and Sandfan and Number 3 but…I am dense…lol.http://www.cartoons.ac.uk/browse/cartoon_item/subjects_text[]=pigeons?artist=Reg Smythe&page=33

and another one too!.http://www.cartoons.ac.uk/browse/cartoon_item/subjects_text[]=pigeons?artist=Reg Smythe&page=37

hmmm…wonder if Andy knows he could make a living selling these all the time!.http://www.cartoons.ac.uk/browse/cartoon_item/subjects_text[]=pigeons?artist=Reg Smythe&page=41

The dialect is called “Geordie” , nothing to do with a king. It’s spoken in the Newcastle / Tyne and Wear region (Tyne, Wear being both rivers). “Eh up Lad” and “gang yam” (going home). Very difficult for me to understand properly, ’cos I be what you might call edumicated, having a Wiltshire mother, a Somerset Father and a worldwide education.

Am I just cynical or does anyone else suspect Flo burned the loft down herself, to get rid of the pigeons?
