Fact- Britain has more CCTV cameras per capita than any other country in the world.

@afficionado

My favourite Pat Boone song – ‘No More Mr Nice Guy.’ I sometimes announce that as the next song, then play the Pat Boone version.

@ FanolioGet better soon, take a lot of fluids, rest and feel better please…@ Number SixI adored this weeks strip and I agree that it would be a good one for publicizing it. While others may differ, I think Wild should have eyes, but his owner does fine with the cap over his eyes…I wish you the best of luck!

@Eldo

Good morning, Gweedo!

Regarding your comment last night about ’Wild’s’ eyes vs. no eyes:

Other than when "Wild’ was a puppy, so far he’s only been shown with closed eyes on 2 strips:when he and Oscar are deciding upon a name for him in front of the theater poster (5-9-2014)and…the Easter-themed strip (4-20-2014)

Number Six and I have an excellent working relationship………except for this one issue of the eyes vs. no eyes. But, of course, he does have the “deciding vote”! LOL

The bottom line: in my estimation, ‘Wild’ is still one of the most adorable canine character in the comics world…….eyes or not.

Wild needs eyes to keep tabs on Oscar (the government is apparently keeping tabs on Andy…….)

Watching Andy on the CCTV cameras staggering and falling over will be better than TV but it’ll be the sort of footage we’ll all be shaking our heads and tutting at.xxx

Gweedo – It’s legal here !!! – Murray said, about 15 hours agoTell me about it. I have been busy and entirely out of the mood to play with the musical toys. -Well…. Tire Kitty’s a boy and your Kitty’s a girl, so, maybe they should !-Fairly recent and I wouldn’t go on about it in the open forum. -You are quite the shrouded mystery. -“City of Lights” would be Paris.Las Vegas bills itself as The Entertainment Capital of the World-Sun came out and we got 4 of the 5 posts concreted in the ground. -I’ll be here early and late; taking Ed to VA in the morning.__________________________________________________Hopefully my Kitty and “Tire Kitty” will get along. I haven’t been riding Trigger lately, I’ve been WALKING to my toon tours instead! Yes that’s right, walking. Are you shocked? LOL.-I’m not always an open book. It depends who I’m talking to.-My thoughts are with Heather right now.-Thank you for the Wikipedia link! “The Golden Nugget” hotel/casino looks fabulous. Very deluxe!-The sun has been out but later on it started raining lightly and then stopped, A short while later it started lashing down for a few minutes .It’s raining again as I type this comment. The weather has been strange today.-I hope Ed’s VA appointment went well. -Happy un-miserable Monday to you. I take it you’ve been busy outside?

Thanks, everybody for the get well wishes. I’ve not been this sick since I got the “Number Six Crud” after meeting Steve in Glasgow last October. I Think (read hope) I’m getting better. BCNU, later.

Flo’s missing the point, and Andy is right: Decent, law-abiding people deserve to live in peace without being spied upon 24/7 – and so does Andy!

Sorry….I must have given you the dates that they actually were finished. I usually put the date as part of my file title, so you were right, those dates wouldn’t necessarily be the dates that they were posted here (but usually within a day or two…).

Even though Andy’s protest “NOTHING!” can be taken at least two ways, he does bring up a point. To quote Benjamin Franklin, “Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.” (Capitalization per original)

There will never come a time when giving up ESSENTIAL liberty (my emphasis not in the original) to purchase a LITTLE TEMPORARY safety (ditto) will be a good trade, and people who would make that trade do indeed deserve neither liberty nor safety. (Not to brag or anything but I’ve read four separate biographies of Franklin over the decades, plus a great deal about the Revolution, it being one of my favorite periods of history.)

There were a few pretty good ones lately… I wonder how that happened…
