Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 15, 2024

hey, you two be glad that the officer was friendly – this time.

That used to happen to my friend. He used to leave to catch his bus if his team looked like loosing. He used to say they couldn’t win with him watching. Unfortunately now he’s buried beside the goal.

It ain’t over til it’s over.

No worries, they get to the pub an get sloshed before the happy blokes get there!!

What are those two squabbling about? If they bet money on Union, they won—and could afford to get stinko! BTW, how did Alan know about the final rush to victory if he was pounding his beat??

Are Andy and Chalkie a jinx?

Mostly goals are always scored in 90+ minutes.

I’m with Andy on this one. This summer I missed the end of a great baseball game when my friends decided to leave early. I was riding with them, so I had no choice. Wouldn’t you know it, in the eighth inning the local team turned the tables and came back from behind to win the game.

And I’m sure you didn’t object, Andy!

It would be nice if they spoke English. : )

Chalkie in a rush to hit the Pub? Never. Andy Andy Pants on fire.

Reminds me of going to football games with my dad. He’d always want to leave at the end of the third quarter “to beat the traffic.” We missed some great comebacks that way.

When I was a kid, going to baseball games in the 1960s, my friends and I would always stay through the last inning of the game — no matter how bad things looked that day for the New York Mets.

Boy, boys, no squabbling. Go have a pint.

Humph…fair weather fans……

Isn’t Andy always desperate to go to the pub?

HUFC?

Wow, 3 goals in 5 minutes in soccer, that is a shocker.

More like a miracle!

I rather think it was Andy who was desperate to get to the pub. He just blames Chalkie for everything.

I might leave early, but not that early.

Should have just gotten ale at the concession stand.

Wrong Andy you are the one wanting to get to the pub early

Per Wiki, the average attendance for HUFC home matches is about 4,100. They play in the fifth level of English soccer, the National League; if I’m reading the table right, they’ve gotten as high as the third level on occasion. They’ve gotten to the fourth round of the FA Cup a few times.

Anyone else having problems with the comics not being updated?

Happens a lot, like you want to beat the crowd at a concert and after you leave they play your favorite song and bring out the T-shirt cannon.

Andy, didn’t you learn a thing? It’s not over until the fat lady sings.

The change over is usually at 7 CET… but it’s now gone midday… Has GC gone to the wall…?

And you’re walking; it’s not like you have to catch a bus or wait in a long line to get out of the parking lot…
