Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for March 29, 2021

The Three has returned. I hope everybody has been doing well.

I had the most wonderful chat with our very own RJM yesterday. He happened to mention my 1% African DNA (Ethiopia) I mentioned I had Middle Eastern ancestry too as my great-grandfather came from Yemen I think. I believe the African DNA may hail from there.

I should probably dismiss that African result as “noise” with it being so small but I don’t want to. I’m proud of it. The possibility that one of my ancestors was an African man or woman is pretty fascinating.

Well. Enough from me. Carry on, Cappers!

See you later.

what’s the matter, Andy, afraid you’ll sprain your darts-throwing hand after one scrub?

Well Jeepers Flo, barely is better than nothing at all.

Is she taking in other people’s dishes or is that days worth. Nothing like helping Andy, and that is nothing like helping!

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny albeit a repeat , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp said he would do the dishes so there is no need for Flo to remind every six months :o) my avatar is again a spoof about a computer having an Intell chip inside but an idiot outside like mine do , how was your day? our Manic Monday should be busy as usual but we should cope I hope, shopping done all alterations done and we are both in a good mood , welcome back and keep safe young Lady

Unusually, this strip is the same one that’s on the newspaper’s website.

Andy wants take-out. Not more of Flo’s cooking. So, no clean dishes, no cooking.

Andy takes the ‘elpin’ ’and out of ’andy!

Andy’s couch has gotten shorter ! Yikes !

He ran some water over the mess? That’s a start.

That stack looks alittle neater.

Whereas Brudder Capp is a work in REGRESS!!

What part of Lazy Bum does he not understand?…….

Mine is usually a work in progress-it will be there tomorrow.

Time to invest in a dishwasher, Flo. I wouldn’t trust Andy to do them anyway.

The moral of this strip is “If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself”

Hey, Affie.

Today has been a beautiful day and I’m really hoping it’s the same tomorrow as I plan to get the bus to travel to my favourite beach. I haven’t been to that one for ages.

Over here, more restrictions are being lifted from today and we can now meet up with friends again. Hairdressers open on 12th April but my appointment is not until 21st April. I won’t be at bingo again until after 17th May. Same with eating out at the carvery restaurant too.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal.

More like a work in regress.

In the olde strips Flo would have said “Yer’ve barely touched it”

THAT POT – IT’S FLO’S WACKER POT.

A work in progress: He’s been considering thinking about weighing the various options for coming up with an excuse to get out of doing the dishes.
