Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 26, 2022

well, alcohol was an ancient pain killer so it would make sense why Stan went to the pub

Fat Stan is into fitness…fittin niss plate of fish and chips in his mouth….

Fitness can sometimes make one un-fit.

What time does that pub open?

It’s broad daylight, and already men are going in to get stinko!!

gym kit? …..his outfit, I would guess

Thank Heavens the poor bloke was able to make it to the pub.

I knew I was no longer young when I pulled muscles in my back getting out of bed.

I put on a piece of gym equipment in Jr. High it snapped and boy it hurt ;>(

I was going to exercise, but the floor was too far away for me to tie my shoes. Thought I was going to have a heart attack pulling on my sweat pants. The headband wasn’t too bad, but I was done for the day.

I wonder why I keep getting a burning feeling across my chest and a pain down my left arm.

I wonder if it was an Adidas* shell suit? *Adidas: pronounced Addy-dass of course.

Andy is too smart to waste his time on any unnecessary activity.

Regime or regimen?

Exercise, like hard work, is the curse of the Drinking Class!

That could be any number of people know. . . . .(four dot journalism)

I didn’t think the word ‘fitness’ was in Andy’s vocabulary.

jobs cut into drinking time.

How embarrassing.

Since no one has seen fit to mention it, I will! Today’s drawings are worthy of Smythe. Great detail and composition on the part of the new unheralded and unnamed cartoonist. Far superior to G&G’s usual lazy cut-n-paste strips.
