Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 28, 2021

Just can’t get away with nothing on the football pitch.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny the way our HERO Mr Andrew Capp tries to squirm out of getting a red card is hilarious could it be because he’s sober? :o) my avatar is a spoof of a laptop computer being used as a nutcracker which is all my laptop is good for now because it takes ages to stat up, how was your day? ours should be slightly busy but we should cope I hope , we are both in a good mood , no shopping to do or errands to run , just stay inside the house , keep hydrated and munch on Christmas log and mince pies , keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Andy has more red cards than Joseph Stalin…

Doesn’t look like he’s on his feet to me.

He had to. The blokes’ hands were all bloody after he trod all over them.

He Dived Ref !

If Andy was going for the ears. What was he going to do for the tail?

Fat lot of help that was, Andy! :D

I don’t understand the rules of soccer. What happens if a player gets a red card?

No Eldo? No Extras? But I guess he deserves a holiday…

Oi, Andy, me lad! Whatever you do don’t spin the ball out of bounds after making a first down or you’ll get a penalty for taunting like Ja’Marr Chase did last Sunday. Told to me by a friend. OK. It wasn’t. The Count and Countess were there.

Andy wanted a fast send off – Pub crawl. Countdown New Years folks 3 to go! Happy Happy Safely Safely

Drawing of the Player on the ground in panel two is funny.

Come on ref, you don’t recognize a dive when you see one.

How do they even got another team to play them? There was a local park district team here that every other team refused to play them. They took it waaayy too seriously and the other team always ended up bloodied.

That victim looks like Charlie Brown of Peanuts fame.

It’s always interesting watching officials. One sees the “blinding-fast” wide receiver zipping down the field — with the official only a step or two behind.

Why wasn’t that included in the strip? Andy dragging somebody by their ears. Although I’d rather see Flo do that to Andy.

Hey, Affie!

I still have Windows 7 on my laptop and I’ve had no problems with it. I went into a Computer Tech store and asked how much it would cost to put Windows 10 on. It would cost £50 which I thought was pretty good but I just never got round to it. My laptop is 10 years old and I’m not on it very much. Anyway the battery is not working all that well so I just keep it plugged in.

It has been raining today so didn’t go out. But I will be going out tomorrow for my weekly KFC and then to the library.

Last night my mini fridge in my bedroom started getting louder which was weird because I had it on the Eco (energy saving) setting. I tried wiping near where the fan was in case of a build up of dust but that didn’t work. In the end I unplugged it for a minute. That did work and it’s been fine ever since. I’m going to start switching my fridge over to Eco mode when I go out as well. I already do it before I go to bed.

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

Could have been worse. Andy could have given him a wedgie.
