Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for March 29, 2022

I once went to my usual barber shop after work one day (about a block past the grocery store I’m employed at), but it was closed. So I went to one of the three barber shops roughly on the property as the grocery store.

Well played, Florrie.

Dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t

Andy has athletes mouth from having his foot there so often!

@Eldo Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp again fails miserably in buttering up Flo by pretending he’s paying atttention :o) my avatar again is a picture of my birth sign Leo roaring his head off because he’s in a good mood like I am , how was your day ? ours should be quite busy but we should cope I hope , we are both in a good mood , things in the streets have calmed down and after our bulk shopping is done we have no more errands to run just stay inside the house and keep hydrated because it’s freezing outside , keep safe and BCNU pal

Once again—a case of foot-in-mouth disease!!

Andy can’t seem to ever win.

Why does it remind me of my family and I

Well… it was a nice try…

Instead of an E for effort, Andy gets an EF…for epic fail. :D

Nice try, Andy. But you should know by now that often times with women you just can’t win! LOL!!

Save a ton of money and shave it down like Jada…Actually that slap was ridicules as it was one black man slapping another, Let that slap have come from a White Actor and All Hell would have broken loose.

So sad, when Andy does try, he can’t win for losing.

Open mouth, insert foot.

Better try actually paying attention for once.

Good intentions won’t protect you, Andy.

My wife gets her hair cut three days after she colours it. Exactly the same style now for 30 years. There is a difference between before and after but no real difference from one cut to the next. I just say,, “It seems a bit longer/shorter this time”. Very safe and keeps her happy.

Another ‘Danger, Will Robinson’ moment for a husband.

so to put it on the other side. I don’t usually say anything – why? my wife never notices if I shave my head, shave my beard, grow my mustache, etc. until two or three days, sometimes a week after I do it. 30 yrs or so ago – completely took off my beard mustache and had my long hair cut very short, after years of wearing a thick beard and stache and having longish hair. 4 days later my wife had her hair done. when I didn’t comment on it, she said “you never ever notice”, which I do but hey if she is happy with her hair, I am happy. so I said to her – look at me closely, notice anything. her eyes got very big and she said ‘when did you do that?" I told her. Now I try not to be a bore and compliment her IF she changes style, but she never gets in a huff IF I don’t notice. Some people really don’t care what you look like as long as you are you!!!!!! (shrug)

One day last year, an Andy Capp strip showed a copper calling Control on his radio to report something about Andy. A commentator made a comment about CONTROL and Agent 86. These were references to the 1960s spy sitcom Get Smart. I replied that I hadn’t seen a reference to Agent 86 on this website before but we used to get a lot of comments from Number Six.

Last night, I watched a repeat of the episode of The Prisoner called “A Change Of Mind” in which Number Six was briefly fooled into thinking he’d had a lobotomy before realising that he hadn’t and that they were trying to change his personality with drugs. The woman who was drugging Number Six’s drinks was Number Eighty-Six. She proved much less successful than Agent 86 in Get Smart.

To paraphrase a country song, you say it best when you say nothing at all.

poor andy can’t win

Flo set him up.

At least he tried.

Oops, Andy really blew it this time. Score one for Flo!

Andy meant well.

“It looks great” is always a safe answer, Andy.

When your bride has the same hairdo for years, it’s hard to tell the difference. And no, I’m not speaking from experience, just observation of others.
