Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 29, 2016

I don’t know much French, but I think it’s really coq flambé.

More like coq au cola.

Dang French spelling of cocoa van.

Crisps are very posh these days………….. the food stays hot longer and the flies don’t linger………

So kiss the cook and look forward to your just deserts……..

chocolate wine?

Andy thought Coq au vin was something naughty in the back of a lorry. He’d rather have a pint though..

I look forward to the pictures each day. They are much more interesting than pictures of the presidential race or of the family who had done nothing to be famous but seem to be the most media covered people in the US for some unknown reason.

Back to the actual strip: I’ll bet Flo is actually quite a good cook, but she gives Andy no more than he deserves. Good for Flo!

Beviek, thank you so much for your images. They help make my day. The photo ‘Vintage London’ shows, I believe, the coronation coach. At 06:55 in the morning, this must have been a practice run a day or so before the coronation of Queen Elizabeth 2nd June 1953. What a day that was! It started with the announcement that Hillary & Tensing had climbed Mt Everest. We watched the whole day on something like a 9" black & white television screen. And then the parties!

Portrait of the " Why ? " Troll

Anatomy of the above mentioned Troll

Good one Linquist, I like the pictures too

Isn’t it amazing?

Flo can ruin food in different languages.

Nope. Burned to a crisp is either “brûlé” or “c’est du charbon” (it’s a lump of coal)

If any one else had trouble seeing some of bev’s wonderful pictures, log out of GoComics and log back in. That’s what I just did and they all came up.

it literally means : Rooster, in wine!

Mr. Jolin,Once again, much funnier than the 3 Stooges.Keep up the great work !

“Wow, I must say, your cooking certainly shows a lot of potential, Pet; I mean, a lot of potential! ‘S too bad that none of it ever comes out to the surface, Ha-ha-ha! Oh, well. I’m goin’ down to the Pub; gotta get my fix, you know!”

“Burnt to a crisp” in French is “Brûlé sur un croustillant.”.You’re welcome. Or, rather, “Du rien.”^^Actually, “Brûlé sur un croustillant.” translates as burnt on a potato chip and it’s dE rien!
