Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 17, 2022

Hey, Cappers. I’m back! And a very Happy Easter/Passover to all of you!

I’m happy to say that I successfully completed Lent which involved giving up all social media including GoComics. However I did always say that I wouldn’t beat myself up if I didn’t manage to complete Lent. God loves a tryer after all.

I really missed you all so much. I want to do Lent next year as well but I will be giving up something else.

On 12th April, I donated blood. I’m waiting to find out which lucky hospital will be storing my “crimson nectar” (I stole that) I will recieve a text and email saying where it’s gone.

I’m off to bed now. I will reply to everyone when I come back this evening. I love you all! Great to be back.

P.S I heard through the grapevine that some of you were expecting me back on Monday. That was the original plan but our very good friend RJM persuaded me to return on Easter Sunday instead and surprise you all. We planned my return together. Just the two of us. Hehe.

Fat chance

Faster than a speeding rumor.

It’s was all downhill from there…

@Ling Today’s strip is slightly funny ,our HERO Mr Andrew Capp lying thru his teeth is priceless ,:o) my avatar is a spoof of our Lord rising from his thomb and bewildering His Roman gaurds, come passerai la vostra Pasqua mio meno vecchio amicho? our Easter Sunday should be quite peaceful , we are both in a good no early morning drive or shopping or errands to do , just stay inside the house and keep hydrated till we get the holy Mass celebrated on television, keep safe and a bientot palBuona PasquaHappy EasterL-Ghid it-TajjebGhristos anesti

Don’t mess with Fat Stan. He can really throw down.

@Number Three Welcome back Starlet , we missed you

well … apparently the STORY did reach home before him

Andy left out a detail or two.

“The beauty of this incident Governor is the cellar’s where they keep the beer in’t. Well, I took stock of the situation and decided I needed to take an inventory. Just in case any of the brews were mislabeled, if you know what I mean. Kinda’ like a public service.”

I thought The Cellar was the name of another pub.

Eldo and rjm, I hope you’re enjoying Passover.

And Happy Easter to the rest of you readers.

While you were in the cellar Andy, did you see any miss-labeled kegs or bottles down there?

@Linguist

“A bit of a mess, too, as i did’nt realize the City had installed a “Owner-proof” shut-off Water Main,”

Whether the valve is in the yard, down a tube that needs the 5 “hexxed” socket on a metal stick to operate, as ours was years ago where I grew up, or some fancy “fool proof” valve in the house; you need to install a user operated valve after their mess and before all of yours. Quarter turn valves answer the purpose pretty well and there are other configurations that can be better and more costly but the quarter turn works pretty good. I find that if you don’t run them back and forth once in awhile they tend to get froze in place. Must be the ming-rals in the water is whawt does it.

The washer outlets should be done like this:   https://images.thdstatic.com/productImages/1654e888-e832-490c-be9a-8838dc98c31b/svn/oatey-washing-machine-valves-38528-64_400.jpg … Whether external or as depicted in the photo.

Alan and Andy always address each other by name which suggests that they knew one another before Alan became a cop.

I mentioned last week (Palm Sunday) that I was looking forward to my chocolate eggs. I have received four today – a dark chocolate egg and three milk chocolate eggs. I hope to span each egg out to about a week each so that the four eggs will last through April and into mid-May. I will start on one of the eggs after my chicken dinner so I will have had a chicken dinner with part of a chocolate egg as desert.

Fat chance too but happy Easter, Andy and Flo!!!!

Happy Easter weekend all Capers. Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords.

Aw too bad those aren’t bunny slippers.

And, by fortuitous circumstance, it’s where all the beer/ale is kept.

Welcome back!

Easter greetings Cappers!

Congrats, #3 and welcome back! Happy Easter.

It’s a smart Man who knows his limitations and Andy never seems to miss an opportunity to prove it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Andy helped himself to some bottles of ale while down in the cellar. By the way, Happy Easter/Passover, Cappers! Oh, and welcome back, Number Three. :)
