Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 12, 2022

Why’d captain Morpeth decide upon aviation anyway? To combat his acrophobia?

let’s hope he doesn’t drink like that before the flight!

That career isn’t going to take off

A talk with Andy and he will be glad he is a pilot.

@Number Six Today’s strip IS funny with our HERO Mr Andrew Capp more sober than the airline pilot he was in is classical my avatar again is a picture of Rowan Atkinson as mr Bean grinning because he ’s in a good mood like I am how was your , our Manic Monday should be quite calm , no shopping or errands to run just stay inside the house and keep hydrated till this evening when I will have my fav nosh, keep safe and thanks for caring yong Lady p

Think I’ll walk

It seems that the more he drinks. The more his spirit of flight leaves him.

Shabbat shalom, Eldo and rjm.

Sorry, Affie—but this strip is NOT funny. It resembles too many other strips where Capp is the falling-down drunk!!

But at least, the colorist seems to have run out of lavender paint.

I had my honeymoon in Morpeth… less than an hour’s drive north of Hartlepool…

Seems the Pilot has had too many flights…

of beer, anyway!

Atta Boy Bill !

Shake, Rattle, and Roll!

Hours and hours of sheer boredom interrupted by brief moments of stark terror.

I guess ole Capt. Bill reckons he can “fly on a wing and a prayer”, so long as “God is his co-pilot”!

And he has a flight in a half an hour.

Hope I never get on his plane!!

I saw the punchline coming from a transatlantic flight away…..

My first time on a plane was in 2004. I didn’t mind it at all. The only scary thing about it was when it eventually tilted up into the air and threw us backwards.

Not to mention the terrible ear popping! Haha.

Hey, Affie.

Unfortunately the meet up with family was cancelled. One of them had fallen asleep early last night and missed taking her medication so she was suffering from withdrawal. Not very nice at all.

If I’m completely honest, I didn’t much feel like going out anyway. It was too warm for my liking and just wanted to stay home. But of course I still would have went. That cafe is not far away from me. It’s within walking distance.

Enjoy your favourite nosh today, pal. I’m having mine as well.

Stay safe, stay well, stay cool and stay happy, pal. See you after the weekend!

The only worse career choice would be an aquaphobic person getting a job as a lifeguard.

Couple more ales and Morpeth will be very steady. Prone stiff.

“The Morpeth Rant” sounds familiar—name of a dance, maybe?

It’s so late at night, probably everyone’s done reading this page…but in case anyone wonders later why I’ve been exhibiting unwonted restraint, I’m off to camp in the woods of Massachusetts tomorrow, so won’t be checking in for a week. Very happy to be away from internet and mail otherwise, but will miss your entertaining comments, all.
