When Rob says “Long time no see”, Mac thinks that means Rob literally cannot see him. So he replies “The worst! My friend’s [wife] had that. National Health Service figured it out. She has glaucoma. You should go see a doctor and have it looked at.”
“Butty” was originally a bread and butter sandwich, a staple during World War II and subsequent shortages. Now has comes to refer to sandwiches in general.
Should this cat be a “guest” in these comic strips? “Breaking Cat News”? “Garfield”? “Heathcliff” “Felix the Cat”? Name more? Maybe him and Chubby Huggs can do a tour through many different comic strips for a week even though that will take forever but why not? It will give people something to read in comic strips that they normally don’t read!!!
I am mostly familiar with the Cockney speak of “My Fair Lady” and “The Bugaloos”, sometimes it is VERY hard to understand what Mac is saying. That is part of the charm of this character.

LROS up top has panel two covered.
Panel four: Some version of “It’s all good.”

Mac’s diet seems more tame than Busky’s … Mac is satisfied with a sandwich, whilst Bucky prefers Tuna/Salmon out of a can.

Curious as to how Mr. Conley learned to speak Cockney slang so proficiently.
