Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 06, 2021

Great help, as always.

Andy the town cryer… now that’s the perfect employment for him!

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s way of helping out is yelling for someone else to do it :o) my avatar again is Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean grinning because he’s in a good mood like I am , how was your day? our Manic Monday should be Very busy but we should cope I hope , they are bringing a new refrigerator this morning , but we are both in a good mood no shopping or errands, to run, just keep in the house , keep hydrated till the greengrocer van comes up our street this evening , keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Andy may not know about ferrets but he can sure weasel out of work or paying for a round!

Ferrets are very cute but they stink. Even after a bath.

Why won’t Andy work? Must he always mooch?

I was wondering where I could get my ferret groomed.

All’s ferret in love and war …

Well, he did ask for help. He just asked the wrong person.

Ferret grooming shop? I’m scared to ask if that is a real thing…

Anyone else want to see a story arc with Andy Capp as a ferret groomer?

Yeah, me too, actually. Would be epic.

I would have added a fourth frame in which Aunt Bea sticks her head in and says “Oh, Andy!”

Today’s strip reminded me of the British comedy, “The Last of the Summer Wine” because Compo kept ferrets. I miss that show.

Fried ferret – Never had it? Better smothered with gravy I bet.

Tickety boo, Mr Capp. Since you said you would help the lad out, you can claim it as a job applied for on your Unemployment claim. Cheers!

Ferret grooming in Hartlepool? What’s next? Mink and merkin groomers?

Fer cryin’ out loud, Andy!

Careful there Andy, that’s too much like work.

That is the best help Andy can do.

Maybe it’s a shop devoted to grooming by ferrets rather than grooming of ferrets. They’re good at that.

What’s the name of the ferret? It’s not a ferret. It’s a pig. It’s name is bacon sandwich. Funny name for a pig. It’s not a pig. It’s ferret. Fascist! – (The Young Ones)

Too bad they did away with town criers, it would have been a great job for Andy. He already wanders around town at night making a lot of noise, he could have gotten paid for it.

Ferret grooming? Had no idea that was a thing. Sounds fabulously cute.

Hey, Affie.

Speaking of fridges, I have had my mini fridge for almost a year now. Or as I sometimes like to call it: My minibar!

If I remember, I switch it over to energy saving mode before I go to sleep. I have remembered at least 80% of the time.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal. I hope your week got off to a great start.

Up until now, I never knew that ferret grooming was a thing. What you learn from comics.

oh Andy
