Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 10, 2023

why is Flo outside on the fence if she just made dinner, is she heading out for the evening!

admit it, Flo. That’s a skill indeed (and unfortunately unasked for in the job center)

" There’s scrambled eggs"

Aren’t pigeon races pretty much a straight line from start to finish?

There’s hardly a short cut to take if the pigeons fly a straight line.

Cheat? They’re a treat to eat.

typical pigeon, looks like he pooed right out of his hand

Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat

They’re going to take the tube for 2 miles in the middle of the race…

Wait a minute… is Andy’s pigeon dropping a dookkie in the second panel? Ew David.

But…does he cheat on Flo….?

I know crows fly in a straight line, but do pigeons?

Canal shrinking Andy’s pants. Above his ankles now.

You can train pigeons to cheat?

Arrgh! Enough already. They are homing pigeons. They fly home from a common starting point.

Flo — If Andy makes money from the pigeons, maybe he won’t “borrow” it from you.

As long as he doesn’t train those birds to drink ale!

Well, the pigeons are back as requested, although it doesn’t much look like a pigeon, being white.

Andy will live on through his pigeons. Haha!

Remember Eldo’s legendary parody, with Andy’s pigeons roasting on an open fire? Ah, the good ol’ days!

They’ll take the direct route as the crow flies.

Good thing Andy doesn’t raise ostriches or emus. I hate to think what sneaky, underhanded thing he’s train them to do.

In pigeon racing the birds only fly one way, in a straight line. What short cut???
