Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 04, 2021

bummer

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s judgement in placing bets on the nags was always poor , to add insult to injury taking a tip from Nosher just made him a day older and deeper in debt :o) my avatar is an actual photo of a north Korean soldier holding up a target that ’s being shot at, life is cheap , and to think that OUR glorious leader when I was a teen was friendly with Kim Il Sung :o{ how was your day? ours should be busy but calm I hope , I already did the shopping on me own this morning , we both are in a good mood and now I can relax , browse GoComics and snack on Ritz crackers and Cheddar cheese , :o) keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Looks like Nosher is in for a bruising!

More bad news….

Looks like Andy is going to hoof it over to Nosher’s place.

Now Andy’ll be looking for someone to help him drown his sorrows and anger…

What’s the safest way to stop a runaway horse? Have Capp place a bet on it!

Nosher needs to pay a visit to family in Blackpool someplace.

“Dead cert.” Okay, I’m ready for it being “dead certainty to win.” Or at least “dead certainty.” Am I close? “Dead certificate” seems a bit far off the edge, even for Brits. “Dead certes” but he’s not THAT old.

Placed a bet on a horse running on a mud track in the rain. Hate betting like that because you have no idea how it’s going to go. Gate springs open and they’re off. Never saw my horse again, it never crossed the finish line. :o(

Is it just me, or is that horse in the far right picture falling behind?

Dead cert he’ll fall-he forgot to at the last bit.

Well Nosher never liked you much.

I’m sure Nosher has something to say in his de-fence!

Ouch! Not a “galloping” start after all.

That was terrible, I’m sorry. I would have said “flying start” but horses can’t actually fly. With the exception of Pegasus.

@Afficionado

Do you ever do online shopping? Just curious. I know that one of your sons would have to show you how.

I have never shopped online for food but I’m going to buy a couple of new dresses sometime this month. But if I forget about it then I forget about it.

I’m lactose intolerant but I like cheese. I enjoy cheese and Marmite sandwiches on wholemeal bread. Not sure if you have Marmite over there or “Yeast Extract” but I have loved it since I was a kid and it’s really good for you. Anybody who says otherwise are lying.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal.

Nosher had better get out of town before Andy gets his hands on him!

Bad sign.

Are those large screen Tellys?
