Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 12, 2023

Probably for a change of clothes.

uh ’cause he is not well-educated, Andy.

who cares, grab his drink Andy, quick’

Jack looks pretty cool with his comb over and bow tie.

Cuz he’s yella.

I was really mad when our local pub decided to hang all their dartboards from the ceiling.

It really makes me want to throw up.

A new pub opened up that allows minors over the age of twelve.

It’s a pro-teen bar.

It’s a 5-minute walk from my house to the pub. It’s a 35-minute walk from the pub to my house

The difference is staggering.

You can tell a pub’s bad when the landlord says something like that! Nowadays pubs can’t usually be like that. They’re either shout down by the licencing people or because they’re bankrupt.

I knew a pub twenty years ago that still put sawdust on the floor of the public bar (to sop up the blood) on a Saturday night. It REALLY had to change!!

Yeah, they haven’t even begun with the darts and cards. Plenty of time to finish that beer, and a few more.

He’s getting while the getting’s good

Good on ya for being honest about it all, barman.

should have pluralized start

Poor guy left most of his drink too. But it may be too refined for Andy.

Nothing like word of mouth advertising!

Too bad Jack, you lost that customer to Fiona’s Flower Garden Pub & Knitting Club.

Rank stranger had one gulp and out the door.

And just pass this drink to Andy. He’ll vary the beer with a glass of claret.

Maybe he was hoping for a drag show.

Some people can’t handle the truth.

And that’s even before he heard about Guitar Bob.

He probably realized that darts and brawling are not a good combination. (Either that, or he realized how stupid he looked in that mint green jacket.)

Because he has a brain.
