Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 13, 2021

Same photo of London Fog over the couch. I wonder what that number was Andy!

The trio wondered if anybody would catch that or if they could get away with it.

Amusing.

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s counting sheep to help him doze off failed but counting pubs he’s been chucked out did the trick :o)my avatar again is a photo of Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean grinning because he’s happy like I am come passerai il vostro Sabato mio piu meno vechio amimicho? our Saturday should be busy but we should cope I hope , we both are in a good mood , no shopping to do or errands to run ,just say in the house and keep hydrated because it’s cold outside , keep safe and a bientot pal

Every time I try to sleep on the couch the dog jumps up there.

He’ll be tired when he gets home….

How about how many times Andy has been thrown in the cells for drunk & disorderly?

Andy is not far from adding one to his total.

Last night I watched a repeat of an early episode of “Last of the Summer Wine” from 1976. Compo Simmonite – played by the late, great Bill Owen – was reading a copy of The Hotspur which I used to read as a boy. The Hotspur was a boys’s story paper which became a boys’s comic in 1956 and lasted until 1981.

Among the strips I remember from The Hotspur are “Nick Jolly – The Flying Highwayman”. Nick Jolly was an eighteenth century highwayman who was portrayed as robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. He was transported from the eighteenth century to the 1970s and his horse was transformed into a flying robot! Nick Jolly continued to protect the working man by fighting against criminal gangs rather than by stealing from the aristocracy.

Another strip that I remember is “Thud and Blunder” which was a 1975 comic-adventure strip marking the thirtieth anniversary of the end of World War II. Each strip began with the caption “World War II ended thirty years ago but no one told Major Thud and Captain Blunder”. Thirty years after the end of World War II, Thud and Blunder were still guarding an uninhabited island in the South Pacific.

He can count that high?

Sleeping comes so naturally to me I could do it with my eyes closed.

I tried counting sheep, but all of them took it on the lamb…

You’re giving Jack ideas.

I’ll have you know I’ve been thrown out of classier joints than this!

I try Mr Andy method of getting to sleep, I will not count Pubs, but bars!

He could have also counted all the times he’s fallen into the canal.

I love sheep
