Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 06, 2023

Twice in three days!  Winner, winner, chicken dinner

your advice went the wrong way, vicar

Steak and Kidney pie gaffer and drinks for everyone. Andy saw the Pub was empty.

In other words: enjoy it while you can.

The vicar wants some of the ill gotten gain!

Use it before you lose it.

Maybe today Percy will show up for the rent Andy owes him.

Hopefully, the bookies to whom Capp owes will relieve him of that money before he can touch a drop.

Vicar, can’t you stop your godd@mn pontificating just once??

I’m not British, but I bet the Tax-Man should be near by.

Signed papers for my sixth bank loan. Like loaning money to banks.

Since when has Andy won two days out of three to begin the week? At least he’s pretty much paid up with everyone.

How convenient to have the bookies right across the lane from the pub…

I got some good news this week. A poster on “That is Priceless” who had been banned for unknown reasons was reinstated by GoComics. He had been gone for a while, so it is nice to have him back.

You’re on a streak, Andy!

And the vicar has his hands out in p2.

I think someone is quoting a fortune cookie.

Andy has turned “waste not, want not” into “waste a lot, want a lot”.

These are the times Andy doesn’t mooch for drinks.

Whose will you help to dwindle today, Andy?

Couldn’t give the Vicar something for the poor, Andy? Very petty.

Sadly, I believe today’s strip is a rerun. Maybe, G&G decided that after yesterday’s strip, they could have a comic arc going if they continued the Andy Wins Big theme.

Something tells me that the biggest bet winner at the track is the local pub.

I’d guess there’s some people with IOUs waiting for him in the pub, plus Taxman and debt collectors in there too, His big win all gone!!!

There was a humorist who had a column in the paper many years ago, who wrote that as soon as you get an unexpected windfall of cash, something will happen that costs that amount.

You would think he’d learn not to flash it, after Sunday’s debacle!

On the show 77 Sunset Strip (1958-1964) one of the detectives asked Roscoe, the inveterate horse player, if he’d ever thought about how much he’d have if he’d never bet on the horses. I don’t remember the exact numbers, but the answer was, “about $20,000. But I’d have half a million if I’d never picked a loser.”

He’s quoting Proverbs 13:11

And to all you body language experts out there the Vicar is emphasizing a point made on Andy’s behalf and doesn’t have his “hands out” for his cut.

After Flo and Chalkie get their share, won’t be much left.

Wow, two wins in a row! I hope he gives Flo her cut!

Just don’t tell Chalkie this time and maybe it will last longer.

In that case, Flo should keep her bingo winnings to herself.

Of course, horses are far too intelligent to bet on PEOPLE……

2nd win in two days, check out 6/4/23…

The Vicar’s just grumpy because Andy won’t give him any.

Actually it seems the wealth I labored a long time for dwindles pretty darn fast too. One major house or car repair and the bank account is tapped out.

Say, what happened to that sourpuss I was conversing with a few days ago? The last (haunting) words we heard were “Keep posting irrelevant crap and get yourself banned” or something like that. Someone must have flagged their charming comments, and lo, the tables are on the other foot, it seems. Pity. I was hoping to launch a useful trigger notice for when we were feeling gossipy, and to precede any boring post about favorite movies etc.etc. with “ICA” to signal “Irrelevant Crap Alert; skip this comment if you’re too busy to read it.”
