run for your life, Andy, and run fast… maybe to the police station?

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny ,our HERO Mr Andrew Capp gets quite a jolt when he finds out that Knuckles O’Reilly that was looking for Andy to thump him has not left the Pub :o) my avatar is a photo of a guy killing his alarm clock/radio for waking him up which is how I feel when I finally get to sleep at 2am , but Connie won’t let me , spoilsport :o) come avete passato il vostro Sabato mio meno vecchio amicho ? our day should be busy but calm I hope , all our troubles seem to have gone away so I believe in yesterday :o) stay safe and a bientot chum

Leg-Breaker or a Football Hooligan ??

It’s not the dog in the fight it’s the fight in the dog

Time for a knuckle sandwich, Andy.

GASP

Irish stereotype much?

It’s not past tense unpleasant anymore.

Started at age 12 – smoked and chewed heavy for 37 years and loved the beer. Wife was in hospital for a month and I stopped all to stay with her in hosp. Never started back Been clean 25 years +. Cold turkey. Turning 75 and blessed I’m still breathing normally. AMEN. Gosh, the money I have saved – Now spending on old age. LOL

Hope Andy hasn’t borrowed funds frim Knuckles.

Well now, Andy, this is a wee bit awkward, isn’t it?

I just came across a historical event that Andy probably wishes he had been present for. On October 17, 1814, occurred the Great London Beer Flood. Over 300,000 gallons of beer A fermentation vat ruptured with such force that the back wall of the brewery collapsed, and several other tanks were ruptured. 8 people drowned in the 15 foot high wall of beer. A 9th victim died a few days later from alcohol poisoning; apparently he had drunk as much as he could (possibly an ancestor of Andy?) https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/The-London-Beer-Flood-of-1814/

Better start running Andy!

Cue the inevitable fight cloud in the next panel!

oops

It’s time for Andy, in the words of that great cartoon cat, Snagglepuss, to “Exit stage left!”
