Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 15, 2016

Andy sure take cannot take a hint to not insult the mother-in-law.

She can take a joke as long as you can take a punch in exchange

Flo’s mum got the punch line.

Poor Andy, he was just saying..

Andy’s comments were bad enough but when he grabbed the harpoon, pointed it at her and yelled " Thar she blows ! ", it was too much for ole mum.

I found this article fascinating on your native Maltese language:

“Do you eat whale meat and blubber?”“You’d blubber, too, if you had to eat whale meat!”

@Linguist (from the other day)Oddly enough, I can picture you as one of the gangsters in “Kiss Me, Kate”! John Raitt would’ve been pretty intimidating, I suppose, even in his later summer stock years. It’s too bad few people remember him these days.

He really should have known better.
