Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 07, 2021

oh, drat

Is the horses rider smoking grass at the same time?

Love that Andy tucks the field glasses under his capp to use them…have we ever seen Andy’s eyes?

Why doesn’t Andy bet on which horse will come in dead last?

He’d do right champion!

….. while it’s jockey is smoking grass I presume.

Similar problem at the dog track where my picks stop to empty their other end.

Last panel, I’d have thought the other horses were already in the home stretch.

But it’s tasty grass.

Andy needs a designated horse picker.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny but a repeat , our HERO MR Andrew Capp’s luck with the nags is abysmal , his choice preferring munching grass than race is worthy of the master :o) my avatar again is my birth sign Leo roaring his head off because he’s happy like I am , how was your day being disengaged? our Manic Monday should be busy but we should cope i hope , this morning we have already done our shopping , we both are i a good mood and I can relax and remember how yesterday our CCTV cam caught a rat going inside our rainwater drainpipe found nothing interesting and went to the human rats next door , today is a Maltese public holiday to commemorate the day when British soldiers fired live ammo at a rioting crowd instead of over their heads and killed 4 innocent bystanders , one of them was my dad’s friend who chose to go swimming instead of going to Valletta and dad could have been hit ,thus no Affie , keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

@number Three kudos on pranking a prankster :o)

Hey, racing can build up an appetite! If I were a horse, I think I’d stop to snack on grass to be honest. Haha.

@Afficionado

Hey, Affie. I saw your comment this morning and when I looked again it had disappeared. Thank you for typing all that out again.

I was at my volunteering today and we all received a certificate to say thank you. A buffet was held as well but I asked if it was OK if I could go.

However in all honesty, I find things like that uncomfortable. I didn’t know most of them. So I was probably a bit antisocial. If they had asked why I had to go, I would have just said I needed to go to town for some shopping. That was kind of true but the only thing I bought was my Dad a card for Father’s Day.

Well, I’m very close to receiving my first COVID vaccine. Over 25’s can book from tomorrow so I’m going to pull an all nighter to try and get an appointment and be one of the first in the queue, I’m booking online. Wish me Luck, pal.

Oh and speaking of fathers, I’m so happy yours survived but those who didn’t will forever be a loss and truly missed.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal.

Tough luck, Andy.
