Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 04, 2024

and guess what? it doesn’t go astray right into the canal

Why doncha just kick him out of the house, Flo? Or, better yet—let him spend the night in gaol after Gladys calls the “coppers”.

Smartphones does not feel right in an Andy Capp strip.

Whatever happened to the presumption of innocence?

Wait, it’s Andy. Never mind.

I thought it was

♫♪ Show me the way to go home

I’m tired and I wanna go to bed

I had a little drink about an hour ago

And it’s gone straight to my head… ♫♪

What song is that?

Though, it saves him a lot of explaining.

Don’t really need modern communication devices. A late friend of mine told me once how if he jumped in mud puddles on his way home from school, his mother would know about before he got home because neighbors knew each other in those days and someone would have called his mother on an old-fashioned land line and reported his behavior. On the plus side, that’s why I was never afraid to walk around my own neighborhood at night. I knew all the neighbors would be watching out for me.

With video…

Love the first frame.

Blame the messenger…

Show Me the Way to Go Home. Great scene in first JAWS movie.

Andy: “The tales of my feats precede me.”

And Andy get his usual send off.

After a few Andy probably can’t count well enough to sing “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall”…..

They never age, but the times do.

Busted!

Pretty amazing, given that he’s a thorough no-account.

Not surprising your behavior gets home before you..

“I had a little drink about an hour ago, and it went right to my head.” An hour ago? Andy? A whole hour ago?
