Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 16, 2018

Andy always needs that surgery.

Vestigial organ with no known purpose.

Makes no difference. There’s nothing in it anyhow.

“Moths in there?” " Na! They suffocated years ago!"

Why Chalkie goes drinking with Andy I’ll never know. He sponges off of everyone including his wife and his best friend.

Eric doesn’t know what surgery is…

Andy has a wallet? Why? He doesn’t have enough money to put in it. And he doesn’t need ID because all the cops know him.

That will make medical history.

Really, he’s got the whole foot bandaged up for an ingrown toenail? My podiatrist only bandaged up the two big toes when I had them.

WOT! A SORRY STATE YOU’RE ARE MR. CAPP.

When I’m traveling or going to be in a crowded area where there might be pickpockets or thieves, I carry a decoy wallet in my back pocket, with about five bucks in singles, and some old, out-of-date, cards ( think Publix, CVS, Home Depot ) but nothing with my identification on it. If a pickpocket gets it, or I’m forced to hand it to a holdup man, I’m not out a whole lot and they think they got my loot.

I use a special money clip that holds bills in a clip on one side and up to five cards in a holder, on the other.

In one of the old paperbacks, Don Martin had a classic series about (among OTHER things!) an ingrown toenail, that eventually became bigger than the poor victim of it…….

An ingrown toenail would not require a massive bandage like that afterwards.

Went to a classic car show yesterday. This time, I remembered to bring sunscreen.Good thing too, because it was a bright, sunny day. Man, there were a LOT of cars there! Had a great time, looking at all those cool cars. (Took lots of pictures.)

Saw two woodpeckers and some rabbits while out walking today.

Ain’t no anesthetic strong enough! Andy will undergo excruciating pain if you even THINK about going for his wallet!
