Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 16, 2021

touché, Chalkie

Andy must owe him money as the driver looks like he was out to get him.

I assume that’s a 1-way street, otherwise that car is driving on the wrong side of the road.

My life flashed before my eyes; it was root beer after root beer.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp has had a close shave but having his life flashing in front of his eyes must be very boring :o) which reminds me of the time when I had the Ford Capri and was driving in a narrow lane near our first home , now the front part of the car is vey long , when i saw a tuft of black hair crossing my path I slammed on the brakes ,it was a boy crossing from one side to the other to go to his grandma , when I apologized to his dad , who was a policeman , he wasn’t worried that I could have killed the kid , he quipped I have six more, I could have murdered the idiot ;O{ my avatar is again Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean grinning because he’s happy like I am how was your day ? our Finally Friday should be a little busy but calm I hope , no shopping to do or errands to we both are in a good mood , in spite of the infernal heat so we are staying in cool places drinking chilled bottled water , till this evening when we will be having my fav nosh + Vanilla and Banana ice cream :o) keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

One plus Andy, when you do pass on at least you are already embalmed!

It’s like watching an ambiance video on YouTube…where nothing changes for hours!

Repeat alert. Been there done that. Gawd. Do you think memory loss is a side affect.

Guilty….

Not to mention watching yourself , lying in the police cells, and floundering in the canals and losing at the horses, and getting thrown out of pubs, and fighting in brawls all over the street, and cheating at snooker, and cheating at cards, and avoiding creditors, and chatting up birds, and cadging drinks from yer mates and coming home drunk,and waking all the neighbours with your infernal singing at 2 AM

Not his day, either….

He called for a rerun with a fresh pint.

This one is funny and I didn’t need Affic to tell me that.

or propping himself up against the bar while running up his tab/ bumming drinks off friends.

Chalkie your white shoes must be very dirty.

Dumb question. I knew the cars in Ireland had the steering wheels on the right side, but I didn’t realize England did.

Have to leave some “flashing” time for the canal.

Panel four: an ambulance rushing to The Rose and Crown, siren blaring

I thought the English drove on the right side of the road . .

Andy should stick to walking in safe places like the canal

And drinking, darts, soccer, and pool. That about covers it for Andy.

Andy is the ultimate couch potato.

If the steering wheel is on the right side, driving should be on the left. Right?

OK; this one is a keeper!

Oh, come on, Chalkie. Don’t forget all that time in the canal!

That actually happened to me today. I did step back when I saw the bus was about to move forward at the traffic lights but I didn’t see a car approaching me. They were probably calling me every name under the sun after almost causing an accident. They honked and I quickly stepped out of the way.

@Afficionado

Bloody hell. What a horrible git. The Dad I mean. People can’t be replaced. You could have 100 kids and losing even one is extraordinarily painful.

I was out with my friend today. We went to the bar and then the beach. It was another beautiful warm day. I’m glad to be home though.

Since my comment yesterday got 7 Likes (last time I looked) I’ll post the photo of me wearing my Thai silk dressing gown. Sorry for the poor quality.

Here we go: https://flic.kr/p/2mbzE58

Stay safe, stay well, stay cool and stay happy, pal. Keep guzzling that ice cream and drinking plenty of water! See you after the weekend.

Next time Guitar Bob is in the strip, I have a great photo from Facebook if I can figure out how to remove the comments. Of course, that would involve linking which is discouraged.

I could be wrong, but I seem to remember seeing a strip where a car ran into Andy. The car was quite damaged, but Andy was fine.
