Today’s strip IS funny , our Hero Mr Andrew Capp in his sarcastic remark has dashed Flo.s and the Vicar’s joy at Andy’s remark by considering the sermon as a good sleeping potion :o) have a nice day Cappers.
Evangelicals ministers are not known for brief sermons. I would accompany my wife to her church for Sunday services, where the good pastor could put me to sleep within the first 10 minutes of his 60-minute+ sermon. He was a nice guy, but not exactly a great preacher.
She recently changed churches to one that had an earlier Sunday service, – and I might add, much shorter. My devout bride has noticed that she has not (yet) had to apply the elbow of awakening, as I have managed to stay relatively alert during the preachers’ sermons.

I enjoyed it but it was a little preachy.

Look at it this way: the vicar is an unqualified success in his profession. Every time he preaches, the congregation prays fervently for it to end!

Even the Apostle Paul preached so long that a young man fell asleep (then fell off his seat and died; good thing Paul was there).

I can see Flo’s handbag meeting Andy’s ear-‘ole as soon as they are out of the Vicar’s sight….

Ma often needed to elbow dad when his snoring got loud enough to be noticeable.

There should be some kind of religious commandment to the effect that “Thou shalt not telegraph punch lines”…….

The preacher needs to keep checking Andy’s eyes to make sure he stays awake!

I’ve never fallen asleep in Church, but, then again, I haven’t been to Church much. (I’m not anti-religious, I just prefer to stay home on Sunday.)

If you can’t say it in 5 minutes, it’s not worth listening to.
