Challenge accepted

Andy had it all wrong. ou use a flat screw driver to open beer.

I really hate job interviews that start with " Tell us about yourself " ?

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny but again a repeat, just telling us that our HERO Mr Andrew Capp is the world’s expert at dodging work :o) my avatar again is my birth sign Leo roaring because he’s in a good mood like I am come passerai la vostra Domenicha mio meno vecchio amico? our Sunday should be a little busy but we will cope I hope ,no early morning drive ,we both are in a good mood but we are staying in the house because of the cold, at9.30 we will watch the Holy Mass celebrated by our Archbishop on television then just potter around , keep safe and a bientot pal

My dad used pliers to pull one of my brother’s teeth.

I guess he won’t ply that trade!He turned down a job at the candle factory because he had to work wick ends…

If the UK would just cut off his welfare payments…

Knowing the proper tool for the job is half the battle when the tab snaps off your can of Fosters.

With Andy …It’s all in the wording..Lol

What previous work?

“A basic, entry-level position” that not even Andy Capp could fail to get… and the very first question out of the interviewer’s mouth is “Do you have experience?” Gritty and realistic.

Is that a Death Ray on the roof of that building in the first panel?

I pry the tops off with my teeth ! (or what’s left of them)

I don’t know what Andy’s problem is. About 35 years ago a friend of mine was hired at a large beer brewery (dream job for any 19/20 year old), bottling line. You could have a drink or 2 on the line (QC), a couple in the lunch room, and one free case a week. Now 35 years later, there is the same ad in the paper, micro brewery, better beer and more variety, and a free case a week. With all the labour shortages I don’t see why Mr. Capp does at least work there for a month.

at least he had knowledge of what pliers were and how else they could be used.

I have never cared for pliers as there is a tool that should be used.

I’m sorry, but in the last panel, the guy behind the counter looks like a muppet.

Well after all, isn’t that what pliers are for.

Good old Andy, another brilliant escape!

Actually, that’s not the worst way to use pliers. (Or the worst way to open bottles, either.)

If a beer bottle has a twist-off cap, I will not buy or drink it if one is given to me. I have brewed my own beer and know what real beer taste like.
