Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 15, 2021

is Andy implying the barkeeper should marry Nora?

Don’t keep us in suspense. Did she or didn’t she marry?

@Number Three Today’s strip is funny , a Cleric asking the bride Nora if she had a better choice in the congregation is peculiar and has our Hero Mr Andrew Capp puzzled and the Vicar strangled by a woman scorned :o) my avatar is a statement of one thinking of a comeback to a conversation that ended 10 minutes ago , I hate it when it happens to me , don’t you? how was your day and yes I missed you yesterday, our day should be busy but calm I hope , no shopping to do or errands to run , we are both in a good mood and ,expecting no visitors just chill , but why are my fav actors and singers l like , Patrick Swayze ,Johnny Cash , half The Beatles and Luciano Pavarotti dead? :o{ keep safe and thanks for caring Young Lady

Maybe the “Best Man”? Why not choose him in the first place? I have performed weddings for over 30 years and never had a bride or groom bolt…faint, barf and fart, but never bolt!

Things happen. After we’d been married about five years or so, my wife and I went back to visit the priest who married us. Were told that he’d left the priesthood. The priest who told us that seemed to be embarrassed by it. Wife and I have been married over 50 years now.

Asking for a second was a lot quieter than the ‘objections’ part where a riot broke out with screams “the blighter owes me two quid”.

A fill-in groom? That’s a new one.

Is Nora the character who is oft-married in this strip?

Revolving door weddings. Or would it be better as revolving door grooms?

I had a friend that broke off the engagement a week before the wedding. Unfortunately, she didn’t believe him. Flat out refused to accept that he was calling off the wedding. He didn’t show!

That’s why men wear tuxedos for weddings. It’s a safety device for the bride. If the groom doesn’t show up, the best men moves one position and the ceremony continues. (Seinfeld, ca. 1990)

The vicar approaches situations with an open mouth.

Smart vicar. I like that vicar.

Well how about the bride dying and her sister marrying the groom.

Was the Vicar playing Cupid or stupid?

Hahaha! Thanks Reg! Good laugh! And really nice art today too!

Vicar, sometimes you’re an ig-Nora-mus!

Some readers may be familiar with the character Nora Batty from the BBC sitcom “Last of the Summer Wine”. She originally had a husband called Wally Batty. They are both excellent names for comedy characters.

The show must go on.

Hahahaha! Who knew the vicar was a savage?

@Afficionado

Hey, Affie. As I am typing this comment to you, I am riddled with Hay Fever. I had to take an antihistamine just now and drinking some water. Isn’t summer a bundle of delight?

I went to the hairdressers today and got my braids in. An apprentice done it and she did a marvellous job! However my usual hairdresser cut my hair and fringe.

It will be an extremely sad day when we lose Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. Love The Beatles. A favourite band of mine. That’s why I tried to impersonate Abbey Road in my avatar with little success.

A sad celebrity death for me was Alan Rickman who played Snape in Harry Potter. That came as a shock.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal. I’m at the carvery tomorrow. Thursday and Friday, I have no plans. And on Saturday I get my COVID vaccine as you know.

Read a online story about a groom whose bride died on the wedding day and he asked her father‘s permission, if he could marry her younger sister and did!? As for the younger sister she stated it was very weird having her dead sister in the next room, while the reception party was going on…

Marriageable bachelors please form a line on the right.

The Vicar definitely bungled that up, but to be honest, I can’t really think of a better solution.

As the vicar, the only reason I’d ask her that question is that I heard the gossip about what happened last night at the bachelorette party (which might also explain why the groom jilted her).
