Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 05, 2023

of course NOT – just for a change, give the other pint to someone else other than Andy aaaand let’s see what happens next

as long as Andy listens to the stories of Paris he willnever “pierre”

For a pint Andy will listen to anything. Not that he will hear anything, but he will listen. Or at least pretend to.

Man, I’d love to see his vacation photos, too.

I had a friend that went to Germany and he brought back a truck load of photos, He bought coffee all morning long. Had to explain his German name. Nicest guy! But long day

This strip fascinates me!

Here’s a shot of Capp in the canal. And here’s one of him in prison. And here’s one…

This is like a comment from one of Mark Lowry’s routines: “Go ahead, you ask that missionary next time he comes around to your church with that 12 hour slide show…”

Sez the man doing the pouring.

There’s no problem as long as the beers arrive.

You got that right!

I wonder if he got into the Louvre, the line can get really long for tickets.

It’s a quid pour quo.

He’s a shot-clog (look it up).

I breathed a sigh of relief when being subjected to slide projector presentations of other people’s vacations became a distant memory.

Of course, then videotape replaced film and those same boring people had a new medium of mediocrity to impress their friends and neighbors with.

Now with the advent of the cellphone camera, there’s always somebody keen to stick their phone in your face to show you pictures of their pet, grandchildren, or the newest inanity on TicToK. Worse, they can forward all this twaddle directly from their phone to you!

A kept audience.

Andy would invite a Tupperware salesman into his home if he brought beer with him.

Jack is a judge of human nature. Not too much subtlety involved here.

This is a text book example of “captive audience”, as long as the pints keeps flow, Capp’ll be captivated! Cheers!

When I was on my Mystery Cruise in 2019, I took loads of photos and put them on Facebook while I was there.

I also used the “Check In” feature to check in to the ports so my family and friends could see where in the world I was that day.

One of the ports was “Swinoujscie Kapitat Portu”

I’ll let you Google that ;-)

A free pint makes anything bearable.

It don’t weigh much, only a pint…

The things Andy will put up with for free ale.

Andy is already sloshed enough to not mind the background noise.

Leave it to Andy he will do anything for free beer

Andy’s interest will run out at the same time as Tom’s money.
