Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 13, 2022

Rain delay

know of anybody who likes dining al fresco in the rain?

Omg! A strip featuring Jack! Should happen more often, he’s vastly underused.

sorry Jack, maybe you can wait for a clear day and invite Guitar Bobmto play outside!

Dancing in the rain in the south of France, I’d like to do that if I had the chance.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp understanding what ambience is ,is priceless :o) my avatar is a spoof of an pilot and co-pilot too busy ogling the female cabin stewardessses to see the small aircraft in their plane :o) how was your day? our Finally Friday should be a little busy , but we will cope I hope , no shopping or errand to run ,we both are in a good mood but we are staying inside the house and keep hydrated till this evening when I will have my fav nosh , keep sfe and thanks for caring young Lady

The Brits call rain – liquid sunshine!!

The wind blew at the door asking, “Can I come in?” The door blew open and said, “Be my gust”…

Still, you can still sell drinks to those you’ve tossed out!

Sometimes — just sometimes — one can have everything.

Shabbat shalom, rjm and Eldo.

The one slight drawback.

Even if no rain the chairs and tables would get nicked by local thugs.

Somebody should have looked at a weather report first.

It’s going to be a very long walk to a suitable al fresco area.

Not to be “that guy”…but shouldn’t the word “weather” be in bold in the last panel?

I wonder where Jack got the chair or a table. I don’t recall ever seing either in the Rose & Crown.

Andy’s rebuttal is not needed ! Just show Andy with that look in the last panel…, which would mean the first panel would need to be a bit smaller, but Andy could be following Jack, so he could be close.

Drink special today = Hurricane cocktail.

Clothing optional.

Featuring the never ending bowl of soup.

Yes, Hartlepool is indeed in northern England. North-east England to be exact.

No wonder y’all drink so much.

Gonna need a portable alfresco setting.

Jack should check the weather forecast first before putting chairs and tables outside!!!

I think Jack came up with the alfresco idea hoping it would keep Andy outside away from the rest of his customers.

Not a bad idea just need an awing or like

Hmm, English outdoor fine dining. That would be a double oxymoron, or a compound oxymoron?

Looks like Northern England has the same weather as Seattle.

I knew of a guy named Al Fresco. We used to go to different schools, together!
