Happy Andy. Another successful day at the office.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny the way our HERO MR Andrew Capp avoids working is priceless :o) my avatar again is a picture of my birth sign Leo roarin his head off because he’s in a good mood like I am, how was your day? our MANIC MONDAY should be busy but we will cope I hope we both are in a good mood and after our bulk buying is done we have no more errands to run , just stay inside the house and keep hydrated till this evening when the greengrocer van comes up our street, keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

The young man must be new to the job.

And to the whole town, too!!

The proof is in the pudding.

He tries his best at every job, trying not to get it…

The ideal job has yet to be presented. That would be a mattress tester at “Layabouts ’R us”.

Well, he wasn’t at a job interview….

he tries his best indeed ….. at lying

Andy best is (per his wishes) never quite good enough.

I know the tune — “Whistle While You Work”. Does Andy know a tune “Whistle While You Layabout”?

They don’t make Black Puddings in Hartlepool.

Not getting the job suits Andy just fine.

Black Pudding is actually rather nice. When we were on our cruise, you had to ask one of the chefs for black pudding at breakfast as they didn’t serve it in the buffet trays, I’m not sure why.

Hey, Affie.

Last night I was sniffling and sneezing, throat felt funny, had chills and had a bit of a fever through the night. However I slept really well. I thought it was my Hay Fever symptoms starting up so took an antihistamine.

My fever has gone down now and I’ve been slowly drinking orange juice to soothe my throat. Lots of Vitamin C. Thankfully it doesn’t hurt when I swallow.

I was going to meet up with a friend tomorrow but he texted me an hour ago and said he couldn’t make it after all because of college work that needs to be completed by 13th June. I really don’t understand why he can’t spare one hour of his time, I was going to be travelling to his town as well. If I’ve learnt anything in life, it’s to never rely on other people to make you happy.

I’m not sure if you’ll answer this or not but do you ever buy anything from the Greengrocer van? I wish we had one!

Stay safe, stay well, stay cool and stay happy, pal.

More likely he tried his worst.

Andy never tries his best at all!

I’ve got an in-law like that. So friggin’ lazy he won’t even go pick up the boxes of food they give away at the churches.
