Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 20, 2022

Had him over (and under) a barrel

Andy finds another way to get knocked out by the booze! it must be strong it has an XXX on the side!

the best way to have alcohol without ruining your liver, i guess

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s beining hurt by booze without drinking anyis classical my avatar agin is a picture of my birth sign Leo roaring his head off because he’s i a good mood like I am how was your day?ours should be quite calm .We both are in a good mood no shopping o door errand to run just keep inide the house and keep hydrated because it’s hot outside keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

That was the fastest the stuff ever went to his head.

Shouldn’t they take him to a hospital?

Does this count as boozing? One thing is for sure: he will have one heck of a headache when he wakes up.

A rather unique occurrence, ma’am.

Did a Beer Barrel poke-a Andy?

Notice that his nose isn’t red and twisted, as it is when he’s stinko.

That alone should prove that Alan is telling the truth.

So much for ‘opposites attract’. We got a pairing that kinda’ snuck up.

after that andy should get free beer for the rest of his life

He will never live this down.

One important question: Why is Andy walking away from the brewery entrance, and he isn’t even blotto?!

Andy has a law suit against the brewery!

Talk about the booze going straight to his head.

I don’t know if, in England, Andy can retain a barrister and sue the brewery for damages. He could settle for life-long inebriation.

Andy’s hit the jackpot! He should sue the brewery for a lifetime supply of beer!!

Having a barrel of fun isn’t what it used to be.

Hey officer – where’s the keg? Andy will surely want to analyze it as he recovers.

oh the irony

There’s always a barrel with Andy, whether over or under it!

So Andy gets conked and Alan brings him home, instead of to the hospital?

For Andy, this is a what a way to go scenario…

He should at least get to keep the barrel. :)

Alan hears them as he’s called, Flo.

Free beer for life?

You had to be there, Flo.

And you would have got a good laugh!

Hey, Affie.

As I do once every month, I am writing to you from the carvery, I’m about to have dessert! Chocolate Fudge Cake. When I come home from the carvery, I just lie down in bed because I am stuffed. As usual I had a lovely meal and got plenty of drinks with ice! However the heat today was nowhere near as bad as yesterday. In fact I would even go as far to say it was a little chilly. It was so much cooler today.

Also on Wednesdays the GoComics user ‘n2theefuture’ emails me and I always receive them on the office computer at my volunteer job because I’m signed in to AOL. He doesn’t comment here very often but he has done. I think he’s more of a lurker.

I don’t have any plans for the rest of the week. I have been drinking more water than I usually do these past couple of days and will be doing so shortly before I donate blood again on the 2nd August. Not long to go now! I’m hopeless at drinking water most of the time.

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

I would like to wish RJM a very Happy Birthday! I’m so pleased you liked the E-Card I sent. Love ya forever, Gramps!

Beer kegs on this side of the pond are made of stainless steel. Getting conked by one of those would really mess him up!

Like it was meant to be!

I don’t think the brewery will be able to keep Andy in free booze

At least the barrel didn’t knock Andy into the canal. Today’s strip reminds me of the climax of the Three Stooges short “Three Little Beers”, except there was more than one barrel rolling down the street in that film.

Rolling out the barrel isn’t always a barrel of fun. It was revenge on the barrel’s part, for Andy killing so many of is relatives.

Mamma said to knock Andy Capp out!
