Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 13, 2023

She picked the wrong woman to ask for advice on cooking.

sooooo … who’s gonna pay for the obituary? (hmm or rather obituaries)

Maybe he’ll become “Saint” Patrick. I hope Gertie looks good in green.

And Andy can give Patrick some advice on working, fishing, swimming in the canal, betting and all the rest.

those who cannot do…teach

Too late Andy.

Patrick me lad, would you fancy joining me darts team? You only have to buy the captain, drinks for the first year as a new member.

I see blackened sea bass, blackened asparagus, blackened potatoes, and blackened pie on the menu.

O o, the beginning of the end of that relationship…

Give her Papa John’s number. He delivers. Eventually.

As lazy as Andy is you might think he would learn how to cook so he wouldn’t have to choke down her burnt mess.

True story, I have an SIL who is a terrible cook but comes up with some incredible recipes.

She has never understood why everyone else can turn out such great dishes using her recipes when she can’t!

“Give me liberty, or give me death!” Says Patrick after eating Gertrude’s first cooked meal.

OK, Flo’s face made the strip great today.

Dead man walking.

Don’t mock, Andy! You’ll get to sample Gertrude’s first attempt.

I always thought this strip should be called (H)Andy Capp!!

I guess Flo doesn’t really like Gertrude, but why take it out on her boyfriend.

A picture of her face worth more than a thousand words……

Well it started with a curiosity of who this Goldsmith and Garnett were with such a prominent tag on the strip. Kudo’s to them for keeping Andy alive. Found out Andy is as old as I am. And more in this article. . . Cigarettes and Alcohol: Andy Capp >

So Gertrude spends all day working. Andy is constantly taking what she learns so there isn’t enough left over to pay bills.And the big reaction is that she can’t cook. Maybe should could of she had a bit more time between work and dinner on the table.

Andy is right this time.

Flo could teach Gertrude how NOT to cook.

Thinking out loud, eh?

Andy you better be careful or Flo might not cook for you anymore

Ah, Andy. Fortunately, he can still lean on a bar with his foot in his mouth.
