Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 31, 2024

what’s your crime now, Andy?

Happy Halloween, Cappers.

I loved Lumpy Gravy, esp. “Oh No”, a lovely melody.

And it is also burnt to a crisp!

If that doesn’t sound appetising then I don’t know what does.

Give it another 30 minutes and it will taste like proper British cuisine.

That woman drove me to drink, and I never thanked her for it. (paraphrased from W.C. Fields)

Andy’s got a full glass there, I don’t think he’’ll be rushing home.

Sounds like good ol’ mince an tatties. Or a good ol’ steak pie. or…….

Sounds kinda like he’s gettin’ a bowla cap’n crunch she forgot to eat.(and it SHOULD be)

Gravy doesn’t ‘get’ lumpy. It starts out that way and never gets better.

Andy has a full pint Flo. You must keep his supper warm until he arrives. You can not rush a pint, takes the pure enjoyment out of it.

I followed this religiously when it first came out—-have all t he old “pocket books”.

I assume Andy and Flo no longer punch each other out(although Flo gave as good as she got)

Flo really knows how to celebrate Halloween. Torment Andy at the table.Happy Halloween to ya Cappers. ( ^ * ^ )

So what’s new?

Andy’s favorite position standing with a silly grin on his face……

Many years ago I was my local pub one evening talking to a friend and his wife came into the pub with his dinner on a plate, placed it on the bar in front of him and then flounced out. She’d brought a knife and fork too so he calmly ate his dinner and carried on drinking. He didn’t come into the pub for the next couple of evenings though.

Flo’s Home Cooking … why Andy left!

Andy is disgruntled and disgusted by Flo’s description of dinner.

In other words you can expect it to be that way.

But I like lumpy gravy….

Yeah Andy. Hurry up and eat it while it’s warm and soggy.

I’ve said it before and I still believe that Flo works. If Andy and his buddies think she’s such a horrid cook he should take over those duties. Either eat it or fix it.

Like someone taking something from the fridge and asking, “Does this smell bad to you?” If you have to ask, just throw it out.
