Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 17, 2022

and don’t you forget it, Doris Batty!

go get her Flo!

@Ling Today’s strip IS funny Flo hating other people taking her job about our HERO mr Andrew Capp is priceless :o) my avatar is a spoof about an airline pilot not being able to take off because his mummy grounded him for being naughty ;o) come passerai il vossssstro Sabato miopiu meno vecchio amicho? our Saturday should be busy but we will cope I hope we are both in a good mood 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 hot outside ,Keep safe and a bientot pal

He may be a worthless layabout, but he is her worthless layabout!

Is that a bit of jealousy we’re seeing today? Better than seeing more purple.

People trying to taking other peoples job hey? What has this world come to?

Andy’s not worthless. Not worth much though.

I’m surprised there isn’t a service one can hire for this. No “enjoyment” in that, I guess.

Worthless and a layabout? That’s some combination!

No, Flo—your job is to kick that worthless layabout out of the house—AFTER you deposit your money to your own account where he can’t touch it!!

I wonder if Doris Batty is related to Nora Batty on the British comedy Last of the Summer Wine? Believed to be the world’s longest-running TV sitcom.

Saw that coming.

I’m sure this one’s been done.. numerous times…But then again, I’m sure it would be a weekly – uhm, daily? – occurrence, so there just may be an excuse.And love how Florrie coordinates her at-home wear with matching slippers and top.

I’ve afraid it’s been the job of everybody in town, and beyond, Flo.

And Andy’s is being a worthless layabout. Hey, tough job but someone has to do it.

Doris knows what she is talking about.

Indeed it is……

Nora’s sister in law?

And Flo doesn’t get paid enough as it is.

The day Earl & I got married my new mother in law told me 2 things, 1. if I turned up PG it wasn’t his [she thought he had had mumps, in reality he had a Vasectomy] AND 2. I was the only one who had the right to call him an SOB. How’s that for mother-in-law advice. lol

Old Doris Batty’s overweight husband went on a diet and strict exercise regimen. Now Bert Batty’s belly-free!

Tell that to Susan00100, Flo.

Sondheim used that in A Little Night Music. Young stepmother: “No one is allowed to tease Henrik. Except me.”

Flo: “She didn’t ask me to share the load!”
