Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 11, 2021

and your program never fails, Andy… until you’re booted out of the pub

Andy doesn’t do Tae Bo, he does Tae Won On.

Between hoisting pints and throwing darts, you probably have a pretty strong arm there Andy?

Andy gets his cardiovascular exercise in swimming in the canal.

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny and all the panels help in developing the gag our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s exercise regime is getting up from the couch to go to the pub :o) like me I never go jogging and the only exercises I do is going up four sets of steps from the basement to the washroom on the roof and typing on my desktop key board ,my avatar is a photo a Jellyfish surviving for 35 years in spite of not having one brain cell which is good news for some people I know even in my street :o) Comment avez vous passe votre Dimanche mon moins vieux ami? our Sunday should be a little busy but calm I hope ,no early morning drive , no errands to run or visits to expect ,we are both in a good mood in spite of the infernal heat so we can relax ,watch the Holy Mass celebrated by our Archbishop then stay in areas with A/C and keep hydrated with chilled bottled water , keep safe and since I don’t watch soccer ,who won, the Brits or the Italians ? and a bientot pal

Considering how often he gets thrown out, he might be eligible for frequent flier points

More like “Couch-to-Canal”…

Priorities , Priorities , Priorities !!!

I’d like to see more of Chunky Charlie Cheeseman. Chalkie and Charlie Cheeseman should be like chalk and cheese.

Ah, and it shows, Andrew. Oh my, yes, indeed it does!

The puff puff I can live with. But the gasp.. that’s serious stuff.

Guess I would say regimen, not regime. Ah the monarchy.

Recliner to beer fridge to recliner

pub to canal

And it’s not about you joggers who go ‘round, an’ ‘round, an’ ‘round, an’ ‘round, an’ ’round.

Ever read the book about exercise and running by Jim Fix? He died age 52 of massive heart attack after a run, it was reported. Good read though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Fixx

Nice panorama in the top panel.

Couch to pub! It ought to be an Olympic event!

Long ago in a bar/second home, I designed a poster designating it the “Offical Training Camp for the USA Olympic Drinking Team”

From all appearances it seems Andy’s regimen is working out better than Charlie’s.

Chunky Charlie is aptly named.

Nobody mentioned that Andy really gets more exercise than the average couch potato. After all, he walks to all his pubs, stands at the bar – he doesn’t sit on a barstool all day like lots of the bar flys – he manages to crawl/swim his way home, plus he plays soccer and rugby, participates in the occasional bar brawl, and can outrun any bill collector or creditor in Hartlepool. He’s in much better shape than some of his fans!!

that philosophy is good for what ‘ales’ you
