Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 17, 2022

some doctor

If doc expects to get the 20 back, he really is a gambler, eh Andy!

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , the Doctor consulting our HERO Mr Andrew Capp instead of the other way round is priceless , 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 a litle busy but we should cope I hope we are both in a good mood and after our bulk shopping is done we have no more errrands to run, just stay inside the house and keep hydrated and munch on Pringles keep safe and hanks for caring young Lady

Always listen to your Doctor.

trusting Andy with a bet? Doctor…. you need a doctor!!!! O_o

Why is Chalkie talking to that brick wall in panel #2??

Might as well put some of Flo’s money down on ‘Blue Boy’ yourself Andy. The horse was someone else’s pick. And since it was someone else’s pick, and not yours, it might even win.

Andy will likely keep the twenty quid and pray that the horse doesn’t come in first.

I’ve never gambled, and I’ll give you 5-3 odds that nobody can prove otherwise.

Doc, the way I do it isn’t gambling, wink, wink, nudge, nudge!

This needs no comment, other than simply the best: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jUTORC4eoGc

Chalky, knowing that this vignette was being observed by readers of this strip, takes the trouble to turn his head a fill 90 degrees to enable him to give us a classic side-eye.

Perhaps Andy should do likewise. He doesn’t pick them very well on his own.

“At its last workout, Andy’s horse was timed with a calendar instead of a stopwatch.”

Any doctor afraid to place a bet in person himself, instead of using a flunky, wouldn’t be one I personally would trust with either my health or my X-rays!

People really do surprise us…

Hey, Affie.

I don’t think I’ll be going to my volunteering tomorrow because I’m still full of cold and my voice has been going weird too. Thankfully my throat still isn’t sore. My Mum made me some hot lemon last night (She’s an angel)

Hopefully when I “call in sick” tomorrow I’ll be able to speak properly. If not, I’ll just have to send an email because I don’t have a work mobile number for anybody there I can text.

Please keep me in your thoughts. It’s no fun being ill. I have increased my fruit intake.

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

Doc probably owns “Blue Boy”.

Big mistake, Doc. Any horse Andy places money on automatically loses.
