Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 18, 2021

If if he is in the wrong house, did the homeowner take pity on him and let him in and rest?

Wrong house, of course.

That could be a deadly mistake there Andy. You better wise up.

I once came home and found the town drunk in my bed, having peed his pants. I moved out the next day.

I wonder about the difference in colouring between the Daily Mirror version (pink cushion, grey dog) and this Andrew’s McMeel version

Makes me think of the story of the drunk who stole a police car and parked it in his garage with the lights still flashing. I can’t decide If I should laugh or cry…

Consider yourself “lucky” Andy-me-lad!! It that dog was a German Shephard, you would have been his breakfast a long time ago!!

Andy! That is Flo.

It has come to my attention that poster Charlie Farmer has been surreptitiously banned from talking on these pages for what appears to be no apparent reason as he is not one to make the kind of talk worth being shut out for. I am mounting a write in campaign for his release from the Phantom Zone.

If you wish to help send your letters to: moderator@gocomics.com  As always, be congenial. I believe Charlie’s dropout to have been done in error.

My letter to the company:

Good day, sir or madam. I hope winter isn’t too harsh to you as it has been here with minus zero temps but at least we have not had power outages.

I am writing you today concerning co poster, Charlie Farmer. He has informed me through emails that he has been blocked from the Comments groups at your institution. I am perplexed at this action as I have never known Charlie to make derogatory remarks to the other posters or to post off color material. He says he has sent two notes to you in the past two weeks or so but has not gotten a response. Regardless, it is my fervent hope that Mr. Farmer can be restored to the ranks of the living, to the groups he participates in before he whittles away to nothing from the deafening silence he is forced to endure as a result of having been banished to the Phantom Zone district of Gocomics. “Praise the company !” Thank you, Mr. Gordon Heavern.

Is this where the phrase — “The hair of the Dog” — for waking up with a hang-over came from?

@Number Three Today’s strip is funny, our Hero Mr Andrew Capp is in a deep quandary about his location with two conflicting theories, at home and Flo has bought a dog or in the wrong house alltogetherr? my bet is the latter, on a different topic our folklore local drunk ‘s wife would not let him in before she smelt his breath thru the keyhole so he was advised to eat some local stinky cheese like stilton to disguise the smell of rotgut booze , he did but she did not let him in , she retorted that she wanted to smell his mouth not his socks :o) my avatar is of a commie soldier holding up a target and I believe it tactually happens , how was your day? ours has been very busy , we had to walk to our Pharmacy of choice to get my medicines because driving there is worst because you can’t find a place to park ,now we an relax a bit till this evening when we have to buy from the mobile greengrocer for us and my sons , but we’ll cope I hope , today is the latest i have commented it’s 11 am, keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady.

Well Andy, it’s “a couch”. But maybe not “the couch”. Can’t have everything.

The dog is a poor watchdog, to be so friendly with an intruder. He came intruder window. ( with apologies to Doctor Who)

Wrong davenport, strange dog? Wrong house, Andy. Luckily for you the dog is curious, not hostile. Wait until everyone wakes up! I’m sure Andy can use his charm….

The answer is “Yes”.

Hey Reg !! You draw a good dog. Howza bout more dogs.

Andy Capp is just a comic strip, but it does make me feel sad that any woman would put up with such a drunken, loser.

I’m pretty sure that “B&E” is a crime in Britain.

At first look, I thought he was in Dagwood’s house.

We had a town drunk who would frequently enter the wrong house. Later we caught him peeping in windows. The kicker came when he entered a woman’s apartment, and got in her bed. It wasn’t an error on his part, he just passed out before she came home. We arrested him many times. He was murdered in a bar a few years later, ironically after cleaning up his act and having a child.

I’d opt for door number 2…..

With absence of the blank picture, I’d guess wrong house.

Has the artist drawing this comic changed? The art has looked different for some time now.

You think Andy’s confused wait until the poor homeowners come down and see the big surprise on their couch.

It’s not your usual couch Andy

“I have always depended upon the kindness of strange dogs……..”

If there’s beer in the fridge it’s the wrong house. Drink it and leave.

Wrong house. The sofa looks different. Most dogs would be barking at an intruder.

Andy Capp is SO dang loveable that even savage dogs will lick his face. (Because, you know, he leaves a lot of food on it before he washes it off in the nearest canal………..)

At least the dog seems friendly.

That couch doesn’t look familiar either.
