Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 13, 2018

and the Capps’ holiday already starts to go sour thanks to Andy’s misbehaviour

Come and get me, copper!

Andy is technically right; the cop is plain stupid…

The beach continues into the sea and Andy’s not outside the juristiction of the law.

Should have been more specific. Less specific actually.

glug glug Ahh.. what was that you were saying? … hic ….

many years ago the law regarding drinking in public here was ‘you can drink on your property only’. I owned two lots and wandered into my side lot with a beer and the local summer cop got all up in my face about leaving the property with alcohol. He never did like me after that when a year round cop stopped and explained the facts of life to him. Fortunately after the summer was gone so was the cop.

I guess that beer had floated in on the tide.

Although the laws may have changed, but as a kid when visiting a drive on the sand beach on the north shore of lake Erie, my parents needed to hang a big blanket from the top of the car out to two poles to stay legal . . . Plus it afforded some nice shade.

Don’t argue semantics with Andy when it comes to his ale.

In the copper’s big mouth?

While looking thru the knothole in Grandpa’s wooden leg, why do they build the shore so near the ocean.

Just today on one of the Facebook cruise groups I am in, Somebody asked if they were able to take a bottle of spirit in their suitcase on board the ship!

I read that the bars on the cruise ship I’m travelling on try their best to keep the same prices of drinks as regular pubs.

Andy had better hope there aren’t any sharks around.
