Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 14, 2021

Is there a second doctor in the surgery from whom to get a second opinion?

Boy, does this doctor have him pegged just right.

But there’s no work that fits him…

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny ,our HERRO Mr Andrew Capp’s compulsory visit to the doctor ends up with the Medic’s diagnoses centering about Andy’s laziness and trouble rousing not Andy’s fitness for work :o) my avatar is a poster of weather prediction ,in Malta it was supposed to rain heavily today , but here’s no one cloud in the sky,come passerai la vostra Domenicha mio meno vecchio Amicho? our Sunday should be quite calm , no early morning Sunday drive ,no shopping or errands to run we both are in a good mood , but I am a little sad because the fourth friend from my Nursing School days has passed away , well we will potter about and keep hydrated till 9.30 when we will watch our Archbishop celebrate the Holy Mass on television , keep safe and a bientot pal

My dad has a yellow shirt like that

Andy, your best bet is to give your body to science, your internal organs are already preserved in alcohol!

True indeed, Doc. But is he fit for work?

and those are his good qualities……

There’s a pill for that. Take two, lay them on the bar next to a pint of bitters. Drink the bitters, leave the pills and repeat as necessary.

But – there’s no work fit for Andy the pander

Doc had a BFO – Blinding flash of the obvious

I guess he hit the Doc up too for a pint.

So then Andy says “I want a second opinion” to which the doctor replies…… wait for it…… “And you’re UGLY too!”. Thanks to Henny Youngman for all those delightful one liners.

Wowee – the truth can be painful at times like this one!!

The doc nailed it, Mr Capp is unfit to work.

If Andy wanted that type of certification, he would of gone to the Vicar.

Andy’s punchline in the last panel just isn’t funny. It would be much funnier if, in panel four, the doc gives him a clean bill of health, and Andy insists on a second opinion, then the doc gives his opinion of Andy’s character in panel five.

Certify him healthy for work and let them government force him to work or money. That could actually start a new direction that would be fun to watch. Imagine, Andy actually working!

He’s fit to be tied.

Andy is lazy in almost everything, except in drinking and in being lazy

Sounds like the doctor knows Andy quite well.

Well, Andy, that’s just one man’s opinion… which happens to be shared by everyone in Hartlepool who knows you.
