Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 19, 2021

and the fourth, and the fifth, and the sixth, and the… need I go on?

Andy is just plain stitious. Not super about anything really.

@ Cappers old and New Today’s strip IS funny ,the guy with the pendant answering our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s query tells the little sot its because he is superstitious when asked if Andy has any superstitions there is a chorus its of buying a round :o) I am not superstitious but for some reason i don’t like odd numbers ( Number Three exempted) my avatar again is a spoof of what clouds would think like we do ,today being a little cloudy they must see a lot of idiots in our Street, hope you guys and gals are having a nice day, our day should be a little busy but calm I hope , no shopping to do or errands to run, we are both in a good mood in spite of the continuing heat wave so we are staying inside the house in rooms with A/C or large fans and keeping hydrated with drinking lots of chilled bottled water and ice cream , hope the moderators re-instate me soon , I miss commenting

My sister has a lucky Troll doll. She kind of looks like it too.

Exposing the moths in his wallet to daylight…

Perhaps a bit uneasy seeing a black cat on Canal Street?

Besides the booze aspect of Andys life, I would suspect he’ssuperstitious of taking his cap off!!

From Affie @ Cappers old and New: “Today’s strip IS funny, the guy with the pendant answering our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s query tells the little sot its because he is superstitious when asked if Andy has any superstitions there is a chorus its of buying a round :o) I am not superstitious but for some reason i don’t like odd numbers ( Number Three exempted) my avatar again is a spoof of what clouds would think like we do ,today being a little cloudy they must see a lot of idiots in our Street, hope you guys and gals are having a nice day, our day should be a little busy but calm I hope , no shopping to do or errands to run, we are both in a good mood in spite of the continuing heat wave so we are staying inside the house in rooms with A/C or large fans and keeping hydrated with drinking lots of chilled bottled water and ice cream , hope the moderators re-instate me soon , I miss commenting”

Ed. Note: Let’s hope Affie continues to pursue his reinstatement and is back with us soon…

Andy must feel like Charlie Brown – Charlie Brown – you’re a clown – why is everybody always picking on me?

A little like ’Cheers", wot? Everybody knows your game.

I think there is a consensus at the bar Andy.

Poor Andy, doesn’t ’ave an ’ope in this bar!

Not superstition so much as allergy.

Actually.. unless you plan to pass on all the rounds, buying the first round is often the cheapest. The table (and rounds) tend to get bigger as the night progresses.

Ah, they know Andy SO well!

If that’s true, then where does Andy get all his booze?

To be fair, he’s usually passed out in the late rounds.

Andy’s not superstitious about buying rounds, so much as he has ( as me granny used to say ) “deep pockets but short arms”!

I always wear my lucky rabbit’s foot and knock on wood when I’m wrestling a black cat under a ladder on Friday the 13th…..

or having to buy one at all.

I know guys like Andy!

I suppose everyone is superstitious in one way or another. Some don’t even realize it.

And all the other ones.
