@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp hates small talk while playing darts and is not too keen on players given nicknames , unlike me who was the nickname champ in secondary school and while I was a bedside nurse , for example I nicknamed a 6’3" cap called Victor Tiny ( even his mum started calling him that) a 4’10" chap Preluna Hilton , the tallest building in Malta at the time I even labelled you Starlet :i my nickname was The Greek because of my mum and the similiarity to my surname Grech , my avatar is of a grandma put on time-out with her grand kid for spoiling him , Connie loves spoiling her grandchildren Princess Amy and typhoon Timmy in spite of their dads’ disaproval , where you spoiled as a child? :o) how was your day? our Finally Friday should be busy but calm I Hope and this evening I’ll be having my fav nosh , take care and BCNU pal.

T.G.I.F.

No pints for you, Andy…

Those holes in the wall around the dartboard are Andy’s, I assume?

Our protagonaist must surely be Andy “The Cheater” Capp, or maybe Andy “The Beater” Capp?

Andy “the lazy drunk” Capp

How about Andy the village idiot?

“Good Sport” Capp is my vote.

“Heck?” Aw, c’mon.

Chatter messes up concentration-he needs all he can get.(quiet)

My surname is in the second panel.

@Afficionado

I’m only 5’2. I would love to be 5’7 at least. Better start wearing high heels. That was a joke obviously, I like to be comfy. High heels are not that.

Why did you nickname me Starlet? I can’t remember what the reason was.

You’re referred to as “The Gaffer” and I call you “Affie” for short.

Enjoy your favourite nosh today, pal. It’s great to have something to look forward to. See you after the weekend!

Well at least it wasn’t “Cecil the Useless shut the heck up Perkins”

Andy “Guiness” Capp!

I think that nickname could apply to a lot of people …

An ex and I were trying to have a quiet dinner in a rather upscale restaurant, only to be constantly disturbed by an obnoxious loudmouth yammering on his cell phone so the entire restaurant could hear his business conversation. Polite requests by the waitstaff and the maître d’ to quiet down or take his conversation outside fell on deaf ears. Mr. I’m-More-Important-Than-You continued his call until my ex got up, walked over to his table, ripped the phone out of his hand, and tossed it into the restaurant’s tropical fish aquarium.

After a stunned silence, a round of applause erupted, causing Mr. Important to storm out of the restaurant muttering all sorts of deprecations under his breath.

The restaurant comped our meals. Nothing was said about the phone in the fish tank…

Andy’s nickname would be Andy “The Boozehound” Capp!

I never noticed Andy was a southpaw. The should’ve run this yesterday to see if anyone noticed.

Nicknames stick to people and the most ridiculous are the most adhesive.
