Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 14, 2024

Mr Employer needs to re-study his math with Andy

Andy’s quick to figure out how NOT to get the job.

He’s a professional interviewer. A government employee, no less.

a Sunday double highlighting Andy’s effort to avoid effort!

Same way he plays the ponys.

“Joyeux Jour de Bastille” to those on the other side of the Channel.

The odds of Andy getting what he really wants stays at 100 per cent!

That IS the job, Vicar.

Andy better watch out. The hiring manager might think he is very confident and might be the attitude they are looking for.

Andy starts out with a hundred to one chance of getting a job but makes it much, much less likely.

This would be funny… If it wasn’t so true…

If he were to get a job, I’m sure he’d be fired before the first day was over. His fallback strategy.

A certain percentage of employment openings posted in online sites are really phishing scams to get your personal information. Don’t forget that.

There are a lot of jobs like that where hundreds apply for one position but then you also see out there bunches of “now hiring” signs.

Seems like a lot of work, Andy. I wonder how he would react if he found out he has a job of sorts.

More like 1 in a million since he never really tries during the interview, and has no qualifications or work history.

Besides being always lazy, Andy is sometimes honest.

I’d love to see Andy start getting jobs. He must know how to do something and mess up a whole lot of other things.

Didn’t know you can pluralize herring

The only job Andy would serious pursue is that of a beer taster. That, or mattress tester.

At some point we learned Andy’s actual profession was as a sign painter, not sure how long that lasted.

Another job interview successfully marked off.

Like the odds of his horse winning a race.

Based on Andy’s system…he actually does well!

As long as the dole pays better than the jobs in cash and benefits, this will not change.

A hundred people want a job at Henry’s Herrings? That sounds fishy.

Does a rabbit groomer comb your hare?

Andy better be ready to work! And smell like herring!

I like that sign outside the Job Centre for Ferret Trainers and Rabbit Groomers.

At this point, he needs to be sure the interviewer knows he is hard of herring. :)

Why is the vicar’s collar on sideways? Did Andy make his head spin again.

Face it Andy only wants to live on the dole

He’s what we in Australia call a lazy good for nothing bludger. That’s about the worst insult down here
