Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 27, 2021

Uh… point taken?

They’re on opposite side of the bars though.

I might be as drunk as Andy, but if you look at it just right, today’s background looks like a looming, squinting whale in the canal

Andy’s pointing to the police sign.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny but again a repeat , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp equates being carted off to the nick and being the arresting Officer as being in the boat :o) my avatar is of a lady enjoying a heavy downpour of rain instead of griping because it’s free water and she won’t have to water her garden ,which is how I feel , not had to water my front and back gardens for a month now how was your day? ours should be slightly busy but we will cope I hope , we both are in a good mood ,no shopping or errands to run, just potter around keeping hydrated keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

I don’t think he’s a hooligan. He’s an alcoholic.

Yes Andy. The jailer has to do time with his ward. Until the end of his shift, that is.

One can leave…. one can’t.

The big difference is on which side of the wall each one is on.

As Andy sobers up in his gaol cell, does he get the D.T.’s, (delirium tremens)?

Strangely good point.

Or the current bunch of crooked, corrupt government officials who claim to be dedicated public servants (and the lazy fools who support them) and are just greedy hooligans. Let’s Go, Brandon!

But one gets paid to stay – the other must pay to stay.

But Andy, you play a much more prominent role, you even your name plate on you cell.

Such a great gag line just like yesterday’s one!!

For totally different reasons, Andy!

I love it when it rains. It’s always welcome as far as I’m concerned. My Mum is the gardener in our house so I’m sure she appreciates not having to water the plants when it’s raining. She does water the hanging baskets on our front door.

I’ve been at my volunteering today and was more busy than I was the past couple of weeks. I had to type up a list of churches on a Word document and include the addresses underneath. Next week I believe will be a list of community centres. But I am grateful for the work, I’m happy to do any small job.

After all my ‘hard work’ I went for a KFC.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal.

Andy is an old time drunk. Should name a canal after him.

I think the similarities end there.

Just yesterday, in a comment on Fred Bassett, I observed that what I call a shopping cart — the four-wheeled device you load your groceries into at the supermarket — is apparently referred to as a trolley by the British.

Now, regarding this strip, I’m wondering if they do in fact refer to the local jail cell as the “custody suite.” It does sound a trifle friendlier, especially the “suite” part.

But like I use to tell my customers, the main difference between me and them, is I would be going home at the end of my shift, not so much for them.
