Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 01, 2021

what’s not to believe, Andy?

At least Andy remembers that it was Chalkie buying his beer.

Throw out the guy with no money, and keep the guy with money. Good business sense.

@Linguist Today’s strip is slightly funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp should not be surprised at being thrown out after all the I St of May being international Workers day , Andy doesn’t :o) my avatar is of a bloke standing on a mechanical threadmill for some time while it is switched off , like the one we have in our bedroom , after using it for some time we got bored and now it’s a good clothes horse Come avete passato il vostro Sabato mio meno vecchio Amicho? our day should be busy but calm I hope , we already have done our bulk shopping , both are in a good mood in spite of all the facemask wearing steaming my specs and social distantancing , keep safe and a bientot pal

@Linguist P.S bev is not miffed at me, I’d hate to lose such a good friend by being stupid

Or Flo’s Cash you spent, Andy.

The Vicar knows how Andy’s world works too.

But now Chalkie’s money will only go for ONE drinking person. Not TWO drinking people at the same time.

You’re a good bar patron if you can keep your friends spending money buying you drinks.

He has no cash, Flo.

Well, someone spent something, and I was there cheering him on!

Poor Andy – the new version of Cab Calloway – Minnie the Moocher https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mq4UT4VnbE.

The last cel and Andy’s response reminds of the kid that had been on a hunting trip with his Dad and on arriving home, said “Maw we shot a bear…Paw did!”

Thus they did not throw out Chalkie.

Keep trying Vicar

To coin a phrase, beggars shouldn’t be belligerent, they have nothing to lose by throwing you out.

I kinda reckoned that Andy might be lying to the Vicar. He was afraid the Vicar would chastise him for spending all his money on booze and not giving any to the church, so he’s telling him that Chalkie was doing all the rounds.

Spending your money at the bar instead of donating to the church aye

Natch.

Strictly for medicinal purposes, of course, Vicar.

The Vicar is a scold!
