Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 24, 2022

Pals are pals, right?

you mean new victims, Pal.

New pals? That sounds highly unlikely…

She’s been married to that worthless bum—how many years?—and she STILL doesn’t know his habits??

Purple sighting: the pitcher in panel 2.

New pals…same result. Andy’s gettin’ drunk.

just imagining the pot makes me smile…not sure why…anyway…

Just another drip in the house?

No one’s heard from Affie’s family either? Sorry if they have and I missed it.

Skints sponge.

Perhaps one of his new pals wears a purple suit.

Why would anyone want to be his pal?

And Jack is more likely to believe new guys.

I drink at home, much cheaper. Case of Old Style beer, $13.99. One can of Old Style at the bar, $4.

Those could ALMOST be the ear of corn curtains from the kitchen in the Simpsons!

It’s hard to believe there’s anybody left that isn’t aware of his reputation. Must be some new kids in town.

I guess Hartlepool is loaded with easy marks, I mean pals.

I bet Andy’s new friends won’t become old friends.

Oh well. That’s all right then. Pffft!

On another note, I met up with a friend today and we had a nice time. I also managed to reach my target goal of £200 in PayPal from completing surveys, cashback tasks etc which I was hoping to achieve by the end of this year. What’s even better is, I still have £25 to come!

A pretty great day it’s been. Currently at the library and will be going to the supermarket afterwards to get my Weetabix Breakfast Drink.

All of Andy’s pals are short term pals. Except for Chalkie, apparently, who seems oblivious.

New pals? Good luck with that, Andy.

I would buy Andy one. Just one.

Enough patrons there to make charitable contributions to the Colourful Old Characters Maintenance Fund—a community-supported social service. Wonder whether they get a tax deduction for it.
