Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 24, 2022

was that one canal falling-into per week?

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny but a variation of a theme , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s doctor’s advice to go swimming should not include his falling into the canal :o) my avatar again is a picture of our fav actor Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean grinning because he’s happy like I am , how was your day? our day should be busy but we will cope I hope ,we are both in a good mood and after we do the bulk buying , we have no more errands to run , just keep inside the house , keep hydrated till this evening when the greengrocer van comes up our street , keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Andy must get some exercise on the pitch? and his drinking arm is probably well developed!

four seems an underestimation

Hey, hey, hey! It counts as exercise no matter how it was he ended up in the drink.

But swimming is work of a sort. And we know how Andy treats work.

Still….. It is still some cardiovascular exercise, splashing around in the canal. Plus walking home in clothes that must weigh about an extra 10 Lbs. soaking wet, on a cold winter’s night.

What about crawling on all fours as a form of exercise, Doc? Ask Andy all about it.

It is always important for a doctor to know their patient well.

Gee, he only fell in four times in a month? You’re slippin’, Andy!

Thing is, Capp doesn’t swim out of the canal.

His drunken corpus has to be fished out by the overworked constables!!

I am crabby about the canal jokes, way too many and same old joke, anyways Andy did not fall into the canal during the month of January.

Gee, I don’t recall. How many times did you ‘go’ last month doc? ;-]

4 or 40?

Yep that’s right.

Fun Fact: I can’t swim

Hey, Affie.

Well, I had quite an adventure today. First of all I went to my friend’s house. After that I went into town for something to eat (Halal chicken) and then the library. Since it has been bright and sunny nearly all day, I decided to get the bus and go to my favourite beach. What a great day.

If I am able to meet up with my friend from school tomorrow then I will have successfully saw all 3 friends in one week. That doesn’t happen very often. Fingers crossed. Even though the weather has been lovely (sunshine wise) it’s still been rather windy and cold too.

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

Swimming isn’t so healthy for you if live near shark infested waters. (Unless it’s to get away from them.)
