Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 16, 2021

Maybe she’s 25?

Looks like he lost a full pint.

Here’s mud in your eye. Except you never see his eyes.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS Funny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s flirting with younger lasses is abysmal and always ends up with the little sot being attacked :o) but what a waste of a pint :o) my avatar again Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean grinning because h’s happy like I am , How was your day ? our Manic Monday should urn out to be very busy as it usually is Connie started the washing machine at 6.30 we have already done our bulk shopping no more errands to run we are both in a good mood in spite of the infernal heatwave so we’’ll just chill drinking chilled bottled water to keep hydrated and eat lots of vanilla ice cream, keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Years ago I was sitting at a bar when a lady I had never seen came up ordered a drink glanced over at me and proceeded to curse me out in every naughty word known and then some. Bartender gave her thhe drink she stormed off.

How old is that crane?

Old enough to drink in a pub. And young enough to still be beautiful.

Whenever guessing a woman’s age, take at least 10 years off what you think before you say it. ;)

From Affie – who I trust still petitioning G.C. for his release – @ Number Three: “Today’s strip IS Funny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s flirting with younger lasses is abysmal and always ends up with the little sot being attacked :o) but what a waste of a pint :o) my avatar again Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean grinning because h’s happy like I am , How was your day ? our Manic Monday should urn out to be very busy as it usually is Connie started the washing machine at 6.30 we have already done our bulk shopping no more errands to run we are both in a good mood in spite of the infernal heatwave so we’’ll just chill drinking chilled bottled water to keep hydrated and eat lots of vanilla ice cream, keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady”

In Andy’s defense, she has been appearing in this strip for 40 or more years

Probably takes Visa, AmEx, and MasterCard. Who else would drink in a dive like that? (A “dive” is by definition any place that admits our hero.)

Silly Andy. Always guess 15 or 20 years younger than you think.

Good Monday morning Cappers. Andy started his week off about right.

There’s two things about a woman that one should always underestimate, especially if one is a man: Her weight and her age. A true gentleman will simply refuse to make such an estimate.

In a situation like this you have to guess on the younger side.

That’s alcohol abuse, young lady!

Add years to a woman’s life and she’ll take years off of yours.

I think I’d go with, “Let me put it this way, I’m surprised you haven’t been carded”.

I’m not good at numbers, anything over 21 confuses me!

We never get to see Andy trying to pick up young barflies nearly as often as we used to. (Many times unsuccessfully, of course!) A classic I always liked (paraphrased) had Andy objecting to a bird trying to pick HIM up: “C’mon, lass, I’m old enough to be yer father!” “So?” Andy turns to the reader: “Who SEZ there’s anything wrong with th’ younger generation!”

According to my fairly new friend whom I met last Wednesday, I look about 23.

I’ll take it. 3 years off ain’t bad!

@Afficionado

Hey, Affie.

Yesterday I had my second COVID vaccine. I got a text on Saturday morning saying that it was now time to book my second one. I managed to get an appointment for the very next day. My arm is stiff and heavy but the first vaccine was worse because my arm went dead pretty much straightaway. This one took a few hours to “take effect”

It was really quiet at my volunteering today so I was allowed to go home an hour early.

On Wednesday I am at the carvery. So I look forward to it. Look out for an email from me, I may be “away” from GoComics again but I don’t know whether it will be tomorrow or the day after. We shall see.

Stay safe, stay well, stay cool and stay happy, pal.

Some questions are better left unanswered.

She could at least have poured it in his mouth!

~ If ’is intent was to get chummy he sure went about it the wrong way.

Even at that age, she’s too young for Andy.

ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer!

Andy Capp — very drunk or very stupid!

He mixed up Fahrenheit and Celsius age.
