Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 19, 2022

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny ‘our HERO Mr Andrew Capp is quick to avail himself of expert analysis doesn’t he, my avatar again is a picture of Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean grinning because he’s in a good mood like I am, how was your day>? ours should be slightly busy but we should cope I hope we are both in a good mood , no shopping or errands to run just stay in the house where its warm and keep hydrated keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady.Little Malta has won a great honour ,a lady named Roberta Metsola has been elected president of the European Parlament with a landslide victory

I’m no expert on liquids, but I would think Jack utilizes water in order to dilute his beers.

Boffin?

Maybe get the chemical analysis of Andy’s blood… 90 proof?

I wish he’d analyze last night’s dinner!

Most Anal-asists usually study the planet Uranus!

Capp’s “corpus delicti” is so adapted to beer, that he thinks a single round is watered down.

When I was in the Navy doing some fleet exercises with the Royal Australian Navy, (it was one of the last SEATO exercises before SEATO was disbanded). We had a “few” beers in Singapore. And the Aussies seemed to nicknamed the beers “piss”. I didn’t know if that was what the Aussies called the beer we were drinking or just all beers.

BOFFIN – Boffin is a British slang term for a scientist, engineer, or other person engaged in technical or scientific research and development.

You don’t want to know, Andy me lad, you don’t want to know…

He doesn’t [pay for it anyway, why should he care?

Bile. From the meat packing plant.

Water you talkin’ about, Andy?

Again I call BS! NO way would Andy offer up some of his beer, even for science!

Now that’s a true insulting gag line!!

My first thought (technically, not my FIRST thought, but the one I want my fellow Cappers to pretend to respect me) had something or other to do with a lab testing Andy’s liquid sample…………

And now the old song “The Man Who Waters the Workers’ Beer” will be an earworm for me the rest of the day……….SIGH. I should never enter Andy Capp this bleedin’ early in this bleedin’ morning!

Andy, are you accusing jack of boffin-ary?

Jack should tell Andy if you don’t like my beer, take your business elsewhere. I mean let’s face it, Andy is more trouble to Jack than he’s worth.

Why would you want to dilute anything? That’s what I don’t really get.

Hey, Affie. I am speaking to you from the carvery where I’m enjoying some Chocolate Fudge Cake with whipped cream!

I have had a great day. Many Congratulations to Roberta.

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

Do you really want to know, Andy. You’re still going to drink it anyway, after all. By the way, love the use of British slang (boffin) in today comic.
