Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 04, 2023

and the money

Norris has played with Andy before!

Andy can’t stand not being able to cheat.

Probably won’t pay for a pint either. And that was probably the deal breaker.

And don’t make me play with a crooked stick either!

Unless he’s buying of course

I guess that Andy can’t snooker Norris anymore.

If I were you, I would just do it anyway. That Morris is a jerk to you Andy.

Nasty Norris!

Andy moves his balls around behind Norris’s back?

right?

He means all the joy out of “cheating”.

The guy in the blue suit has Andy’s number.

In the old days the art would usually reflect proper snooker rules. There is no way to have the yellow and black on the table with those other color balls pocketed.

Who does Andy think he is, Jim Harbaugh?

We have a motto at our boardgaming club – “No cheating unless absolutely necessary.”

You do have a reputation to maintain.

I am really tired right now. Had to take my husband to the ER in the wee hours Thursday morning and right now he is in surgery. When I read the second panel, my mind went straight into the gutter! I really needed the laugh, thanks.

Quit rewriting the unwritten rules.

To Andy, any game where you can’t cheat isn’t worth playing.

If you beat Andy after he does all those shenanigans, yu da man…

He knows you very well, but well enough?

Andy you are mad because you cheat and he knows it

(Refraining myself from posting a witty comment to panel 2, to keep this strip family-friendly).
