Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 09, 2023

Andy sure loathes the J word.

a brawl with peace negotiator??? oh .. he must be American!

That was probably an impressive fight cloud!

He punched him in the nose, now it’s red as a rose, but that’s not how it ends, he also stomped upon his toes!

Andy did a service to the country by showing up how bad that peace negotiator was!!

Not a very good peace negotiator, obviously.

Got a piece of Andy, for sure.

Does that mean that Andy couldn’t get him to pay for a beer or two?

At Cornell U we had a pickup soccer game for many years, and the most aggressive player we had was the head of Peace Studies Program. We figgured that he had quite enough of peace at work…

Bet Andy could clean out an entire Starbucks of millennial hipsters with Liberal Arts degrees from Phoenix University.

Peace negotiators are nothing but trouble. We used to to hang those out to dry.

I wonder if he talks funny with that bandage on his snoot. Probably sounds like Elmer Fudd with a cold.

Seems the Peace Negotiator was good at his job (the “J” word per Eldo above) – he certainly negotiated a part of Andy…!

The fight cloud between Andy and the peace negotiator could have had the usual “Erk”, “Boof”, “Ew”, and “!”, but also a peace sign.

Negotiating peace by superior firepower, apparently.

Andy simply can’t tolerate someone else thinking an awful lot about himself.

All the peace negotiator had to do to negotiate peace with Andy is to buy him an ale.

What did he do, Andy? Bite your nose?

He certainly had an odd way of negotiating.

No, I’m with Andy here. Those “Holier-than-thou” types are unsufferable.

Andy always gets a peace of the action.

Reminds me of a Ziggy cartoon I read once where Ziggy reads a newspaper with the headline “Peace talks end in fist fight.”
