Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 25, 2020

Andrew so doesn’t want to be like Thomas. (How does one work fifty hours weekly? I’d be exhausted!)

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp hates being reminded of anyone that works 50 hours a week and has no vices , for Andy work is a four letter word and gambling drinking beer and napping on the couch are his forte :o , my avatar is a picture of Leroy from " The Lockhorns" playing solitaire in a way he is sure to win , which reminds me of the time when my Senior Nursing Officer sent me on a seminar to learn how to program a computer , I was bored and I spent the time playing Microsoft Solitaire , come avete passato il vostro giorno in partiale liberta mio meno vechio amicho ? our Manic Monday should be very busy as usual but we should cope I hope , a bientot mon ami Ecuadorien .

Work !!!thats adirty4letter word for adycap!

I imagine lawyers work a lot of hours. Or at least they bill a lot.

Andy can take or leave a good example, Mostly leave it.

Tommy is a real family man. A man worth respecting.

To be honest, he does seem eminently forgettable, Andy! :D

Fifty hours a week is insane. Tommy probably works in a call centre and does Saturdays shifts as well

If there’s one thing this strip doesn’t need, it’s a character who’s a bad example, eh, Andrew?

Shoot. Many people work 50 hours a week – both professional and blue collar. And especially if you’re a business owner.

“Oh yeah, Tommy Grimshaw! Heard he just dropped dead of a heart attack brought on by overwork and clean living!”

No worries. She’ll keep bringing him up.

Yeah, what a grim fellow!

In other words, Tommy Grimshaw is the Anti-Andy.

He should remember and appreciate him. He’s the one working hard to pay for his dole.

The names not Tommy, it’s Robert
