Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 17, 2018

At first I thought Andrew was mad at Sidney making the castle until I looking farther to the right.

He’s become (in)famous locally in a very short time.

Your reputation precedes you.

Took a minute to spot Sandy Capp there on the beach. Is Sid someone from back home in Hartlepool, or is Andy infamous in Skegness already? The latter seems less likely because, there in the sun and surf, he hasn’t been seen in jacket and scarf.

Is there some way to make the nose red??

If Andy is so famous, maybe he can get a comic strip made about him!

Sculps them as he sees them.

It’s accurate. Although he’s fallen he hasn’t let his drink spill.

Andy is a man for all seasons, a couple of years ago this was a snow sculpture. What next Andy in a pile of leaves? Only if Flo rakes them.

I remember when a few kids made snowmen Andys—one was a series of him slowly slowly falling down drunk. You’ve got to admire that kind of creativity—and the kids have talent, as well!

Yesterday was my brother’s birthday. We got a pizza and ate it a Donovan Park. Saw some little fishes in the creek there. Even saw one or two jump out of the water!

I think it is too. I am always fascinated by sand sculptures.
