Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 05, 2023

praise the Lord, Andy. You finally have something to say to Flo if she asks.

Freedom from religion.

Don’t get even me started on the damage inflicted on the native peoples’ customs by disgusting missionaries.

The Lord works in mysterious ways. In this case, a LOT of Guinness.

Reminds me of the time at the Thanksgiving Dinner at church when an old lady told me I was doing a good job. I had no idea who she was or what I had done to earn any praise, so I said, “Thank you” and went on about my day.

I am getting religion, only because of an experience. BUT I ain’t paying for it!

Freedom of religion, if it’s free, why do they have a collection?

I think he was drunk Vicar.

Probably didn’t recognise the place because he almost never there.

But hey, if there’s free wine…

What were the odds on that?!

Why would the Vicar give a speech on freedom of religion? Is he being repressed?

I’m impressed Andy knows what a clone is? Must have read about Dolly the Sheep

I figured the vicar was being sarcastic. A viable possibility.

Did a nice job with the church there—more detail than usual. Looks nice.

Speeches about freedom of religion usually come from someone insisting that you believe theirs.

Andy must have been drawn to the letters “f r e e”.

That building in the first block looks like it’s been hit by drunk drivers a couple times. Speaking of church, time to get dressed and go praise the Lord, for He is worthy of our praise.

He doesn’t remember being there, he just remembers the service was lousy, he couldn’t get a beer.

I prefer freedom from religion.

Boy Andy must have really been tight last night. I can see him falling in a canal or something, but showing up at one of the Vicar’s meetings seems impossible.

For once you didn’t fall into the canal, Andy.

Just what Andy DIDN’T want to know.

Andy prefers freedom to get drunk.

Personally I’m a much bigger fan of “from” than “of”. In fact I’m not quite sure what he means by that.

They were serving a pint to all attendees…

At last! An air-tight alibi!

I’d prefer freedom FROM religion.

Andy had one beer to many to go to the community center and hear the pastor
