A.C. Milan is a professional football (soccer) club in Milan, Italy. Cecil is probably reading Franz Kafka an early 20th century writer. Not sure who Andy is referring to. Maybe a fan of European soccer can help out.
I’m an Italian admirer of A.C. Milan. Maybe Andy is confusing Kafka with Kakà (pseudonym of Ricardo Dos Santos). He played in Milan some years ago, and played very well.
WOW! A day of learning from Andy. We should get him a PhD in football & football history. How many non-Brits really knew that one. GREAT JOB to the Andy Capp team! Now back to my speed – the canal.
Today’s strip is just a disguised “quiz night” episode, and is (like most quiz night episodes and all Guitar Bob episodes) weaker than a slug in the sun.
My first laugh of the day! (And when you consider that I’ve already read all the comics in my morning paper, and have read about half of my comics from this here website, that’s saying something!)
It was my last day at work after being there for 1 year and 3 months. My boss wasn’t in so I said my goodbyes to her yesterday. I brought in a “Thank You” card for everyone to thank everybody for their help, support and great times!
I got presented with a bunch of flowers, a gorgeous cake and a card and a colleague bought me a few small things as well.
I actually saw my mentor come in with the flowers but she used the other door, I saw her on the CCTV on my desk! Oopsy.
In addition to writing, Kafka also invented the bicycle helmet. The man may have been a bit of a downer, but at least he had the right idea about safety.

Presumably people in the UK are for ever tripping over folk reading Kafka in a bar.

I have not a clue what any of you are saying. Just like the comic today.

Just when you think you can make it onto a game show they come up with a question you can’t answer.

Thank you! I learned something today! Now I’ll have to find a way to use Kafkaesque in a sentence sometime today…

Wasn’t he the guy who invented decaf coffee?

I can’t comment on how dumb Andy and Jack are because I didn’t know who Kafka was either.
Until I asked my best friend.
Google.

Sad day today.

Here are pics of the presents:

‘The Prisoner’ was very ‘Kafkaeusque’.
Kafka also wrote about the individual oppressed by the system.
