Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 14, 2021

Nice try, sir. You’re going to be found sooner or later.

Oh Andrew! LOL

Of course he will deny being Andy, just like Andy would.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , but I never took our HERO Mr Andrew Capp to be a traitor , directing the loan bloke towards an innocent bloke :o) my avatar is a spoof of a sadistic dentist and his tools , which is how I saw them when I still had teeth , and one of one of my bestfriends when I was in charge of a Health Centre was one :o) how was your day? our Manic Monday is going to be very busy as usual but we should cope I hope ,we have already done our bulk shopping ,are both in a good mood , no more errands to run and now we can relax and feel safe from scammers with our CCTV cams , keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

@Number Three I forgot it’s Silvana’s birthday today , four years younger than her hubby Arthur.

It’s not Andy’s job to make their job easier and it will serve the check suit bloke right for not standing a round for our hero!

Capp? Might of heard of him. Be right back after I check with the Missus.

Could this be a case of “Switch and Bait”?

“Mister CAPP! much to my dismay the bank has agreed to your $10,000 loan”

Wouldn’t believe him if he swore he was lying.

Looks like Andy has developed yet another avoidance tactic.

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the windThe answer is blowin’ in the wind: Bob Dylan and Flo should do a duet

This Capps it all!

I’m guessing the young chap in the check suit didn’t pony up for a beer for Andy.

Like always, I enjoyed Eldo’s classics, but actually one of my personal favorite Andy episodes involved a bit of truth-telling instead of lying. Andy is storming out of their flat with a suitcase, and Flo is weeping into her hankie. A salesman (I think) comes by and asks her if she knows Andy Capp. Flo replieds, “I should do, I’ve been studying dramatics under him for twenty odd years!” (Of course, either Groucho Marx or Isaac Newton would note that that would be twenty of the oddest years they ever knew. Since I’m neither one of them, I won’t mention it.)

How does Andy manage to get companies to give him loans or credit ? How do the debt collecters in his town, manage to keep their jobs ?

Ah-ha! At last Mr. Slipp! I found you at your desk!

In the U.S. there is a game show called “To Tell the Truth”. Three people claim to be a certain person and the celebrity panel asks questions and guesses which one is telling the truth. Last night, there was a cicerone, which would be a great job for Andy. A cicerone is an expert on beer, in the same way a sommelier is an expert on wine.

Andy’s going to rot!

Even though his liver is already rotten.

@Afficionado

Hey, Affie. I’m rather late today I have been doing something and lost track of time.

Today I was at my volunteering and brought home some more canned food. Tomorrow I’m at the hairdressers and Wednesday I’m at the carvery.

Did you miss me?

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal.

Very sneaky, Andy (also very rotten), but it’s only a matter of time before he catches on.
