Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 27, 2023

no money for another cap, eh?

doesn’t your life already have enough ups and downs?

It tried, but it couldn’t get away.

Love roller coasters.

Always the water, always the water.

I don’t blame him it takes forever to train a new hat !

Ride it again so we can see what you look like. 60 some years and we’ve never seen his eyes.

G&G had to rerun strips until he found it…

And thus began “Andy Capless”

That is a pant load of nasty, Andy. At least you didn’t upchuck the free pints from the Rose and Crown. That would have been tragic.

Not to long ago riders on a coaster were stuck upside down for over an hour!

The Big Dipper is the roller coaster Eddie Haskell got sick on in Leave it to Beaver.

Andy had to get it back from Charlie Tuna…

We were at the Aquarium in Monterey Bay when my granddaughter managed to kick her shoe through the railing into an outdoor tidal display. The staff went to great lengths to retrieve it.

I see Flo has acknowledged our presence.

Andy Capless

And you didn’t take a picture?!? Really, Flo…

I thought he maybe spilled his beer.

In Chinese Peking Operas, stage plays or shows, a male character wearing a green hat signifies that that character’s wife is cheating on him. This started from a tale of a cheating wife who asked her lookout to quickly notify her if he saw her husband who always wore a green hat coming home. That’s why I knew someone of Chinese ethnicity who refused to wear the green cap when he was playing for his school’s varsity team.

I’ve been reading Capp since around 1970, I don’t ever think I’ve seen him with out his cap.

At a Six Flags I saw a guy’s hairpiece go flying off on The Demon.

There’s not a chance in hell he’d go on it if he were holding a beer either. That would be very silly.

@Everyone

Well I’m delighted to tell you all that it’s pay day for me tomorrow. I don’t just mean my wages but from my little online side hustle too :-D

No need to flip your lid about it.

Andy’s lucky. At my age, I’m no longer capable of riding on roller coasters, and it has nothing to do with the stress I might experience if I lost my hat.

Something similar happened to me while I was on a whale watching tour. Fortunately, I managed to get my hat back rather quickly.

The Capp Cap is a historic relic. It’s irreplaceable.

Another mad Capp adventure from Andy.
