Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 19, 2024

well, Andy … apparently he’s new here and doesn’t know the streets (and their inhabitants) pretty well – pardon him. But yeah, move along.

“Human statue”? Do they get jobs playing dead bodies so convincingly in movies and TV?

For his personal point of view. We ain’t got a job for you.

When I graduated from Technological school with a diploma in electronics, I went to see an acquaintance that worked at the Provincial employment office, thinking he could help me find appropriate work. I actually asked him specifically about a couple of companies I was interested in, but he said he didn’t have them listed. He soon called me up and said he found me a position…with a brick layer! When I protested and said, why would I want to go there, he said, “You want to work, don’t you?” and gave me the impression I would lose my dole if I didn’t take it!

Starmernomics.

In Andy’s case, they keep sending him for jobs where he’d actually have to WORK! Totally unsuitable!! lol!

Well it does seem, at least this time, that Andy has a point.

What’s annoying about this joke is they sent Andy to a brewery once and he didn’t like it. SO LOL.

… and run along for the interview at the Water Works as a taste tester. Dilly! Dilly!

Andy believes any job suggested for him is an unsuitable match.

Did he send you to be a soft drink taster?

Attaboy Andy………you gave him a “gotcha”………

Andy is over qualified for those jobs the Job Centre keeps sending him to apply for. Actual labor “Work” is called for and that’s beneath Mr. Capp’s qualifications.

And you made me apply for a job that involved work.

Does every ancillary character in this strip have an alliterative name?

Andy pictures himself, an idea man, not a work bee.

He’s a government employee, what did you expect?

The only job Andy’s suitable for is dole collector.

Huge Harry explains Andy’s “also ran” horses.

The Job Centre folks have their quotas.

A good job for Andy would be a mattress tester. (Not that he would accept it.)

Andy is right maybe the guy behind the counter should go for the human statue
