Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 29, 2020

good ol’ Everly brothers Donald (1937-____) and Philip (1939-2014)… I’ll have to agree with their song’s one line in Andy’s case: gotta go home

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Currently 5:10am here in the UK and I haven’t been to sleep yet. If I’m not tired I’m not tired. Simple as that. However I actually am going to bed now. I have never commented this early before.

See you all later.

Back then a chamber pot was used to avoid going out at night to the loo. . . Yuk! indeed.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny but it’s a variation of a theme , it looks like Big Susie has drenched our Hero Mr Andrew Capp with not just water but wee as well thus Andy’s saying yuk in the last frame :o) my avatar is a photo of my dad’s camera , a Zeiss Ikon he owned in 1920 with which he took hundreds of photos both in Africa and in Malta , I also took a lot and if you could find the roll of 8 negatives it still works , but you can’t use it as a phone :o) how was your day when you eventually woke up again? our day should be busy but calm I hope, keep safe and thanks for caring pal, hope your blood donation goes well

The canal without the canal.

At least she didn’t throw the contents of the gazunda over him.

I wonder what would have happened IF Andy had been singing…"MACHO, MACHO MAN?!!

;-)

How come people in England seem to always have buckets of water in their bedrooms? Don’t they have indoor plumbing yet?

Compo Simmonite and Nora Batty

Gardy loo!

Aw.. you missed your chance to endear yourself to Big Suzie with the correct refrain.

Just reading this comic is causing my ears to hurt.

Andy should sing “Behind Closed Doors”. Said doors should be on a vault five storeys below ground!

just hoping it wasn’t Susie’s chamber pot

Why did he turn around and go back the way he came?

I don’t think that was pure water in that bucket.

I thought those were curlers in her hair but when I zoomed in closer I see they are bows.

I love The Everly Brothers’ music but don’t think I’ve heard that song.

@Afficionado

That is one great camera! I have a 5MP digital camera that I haven’t used for years. It needs new batteries. The one on my phone is 13MP and I believe the “selfie” camera is 8MP.

I give blood on the 10th but thank you for your early luck!

I bet you were rather surprised to see me comment so early. It looks like the turnover for the strips over here is 5am.

I might be going back to bingo tomorrow as I recieved vouchers for £5, £10 and £15 off the bingo books. I have until New Years Eve to use them. I haven’t been since it reopened.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal. Love to Bella.

“…If he had been a dog that howled thus, they’d have hanged him!”

That dampened his enthusiasm.

Somehow, I don’t find it surprising that Andy hates the taste of water.
