Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 30, 2022

Either that or he was lying on the floor.

What are friends for?

Andy is not in he photos because he is lying on the floor.

I wonder if that worthless sot was dishonorably discharged from the army.

BTW, may this Memorial Day be a peaceful one.

@Number Three Today’s strip Is funny but a repeat , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp has no record of paying for round does he? :o) my avatar again is a picture of Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean grinning because he’s in a good mood like I am, how was your day? our Manic Monday should be busy as usual , we have shoppingt o do but we are both in good mood and then we shall stay inside the house and keep hydrated because it’s cold outside , then wait till this evening when the greengrocer van comes up our street keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

any shots of the floor, maybe he was down there Chalkie! Though from the look on Andy’s face, the bartender might be correct!

Today’s strip reminds me of some trivia about World War II.

Here in the UK, there was a 1930s advertising campaign which would show a group of people and then show one of them missing. The missing person was captioned as having “gone for a Burton” referring to Burton’s Ale. During the War, people who were suddenly missing from photographs were also said to have “gone for a Burton” so the advertising catchphrase took on a darker meaning.

Maybe Andy was the one behind the camera…

Andy knew when to disappear?

Simple, he was passed out on the floor!

Thank you for your service folks. Salute.

Hit it on the nose.

The other possibility was he was in the brig.

Let’s clarify Andy situation. He’s not cheap, he’s just always broke, so he needs to rely on the kindness of others.

Ever considered that Andy could have been the one taking the photos?

That could be an explanation.

Hey, Affie.

I didn’t do anything today. But I’m thinking about tagging along to the hairdressers tomorrow with my Mum as she has an appointment. I don’t need my hair done yet, I’m just going for the socialising. Nothing at all to do with the fact that the owner has the most sweetest dog who’s 15 years old and called Jasper. He used to be her Mum’s dog. After that, I might go somewhere myself.

Stay safe, stay well, stay cool and stay happy, pal.

He was probably too sloshed to stand up.

Oo, spooky—did I hear that vampyres don’t show up in photos or mirrors? Perhaps that was when silver was involved in the processing.
