Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 31, 2022

Lookout! Andy is on the “louche”.

of if you look up “louche” in the Oxford Dictionary, you’ll see Andy’s picture?

….. neither I ( ⚆ _ ⚆ )

well, Andy qualifies for the job at the pickle factory…he is ALWAYS pickled!

It’s the style of government YOU ALL decided on, so quit complaining.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp as usual is clueless :o) my avatar again is a picture of our fav actor Rowan Atkinson as Mr Bean grinning because he’s in a good mood like I am , how was your day? ours should be mostly calm , we are both in a good mood, no shopping to do or errands to just keep inside the house because it’s hot outside so we will just stay inside the house ,and keep hydrated because it’s hot outside keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Posh scoundrel

Louche means squinting. Andy has a squinting lifestyle?? English is better off without French words.

Fergal’s not louche, then.

louche[ loosh ]

adjective

shady; disreputable.

How can you say that about Andy? Just look at those eyes. Do they look like those of a Louche? But first, can you find those eyes?

Andy doesn’t know the meaning of the word. Nor the two-dozen other ‘louches’ standing in line behind him.

If it’s good enough for our public officials, then it’s good enough for us!

When you get home and ask Flo to look it up, you’ll be proud.

Someone commented on this strip on Go Comics when it appeared in the Daily Mirror two weeks ago. I was one of the commentators who admitted to having to look louche up as well.

Ummm… how about “Louche, Louche, Oooh Oh, Me Gotta Go” That’s all The Count gets out of it.

Andy ought to have replied that this government bureaucrat is, by definition, living a louche lifestyle, as he also is ‘on the dole’ by living off the taxpayers.

If they wanted pickled people instead of pickling people, Andy would qualify

Not many purple suits around!

Don’t feel badly, Andy. Google is now burning up with searches for that word’s definition.

Louche – I read it as a Lush Louse

I no longer have the energy for louche. Just layabout.

rak·ish/ˈrākiSH/adjectivehaving or displaying a dashing, jaunty, or slightly disreputable quality or appearance.“he had a rakish, debonair look”

Is louche a British euphemism? I had to look it up( Interestingly the Oxford English Dictionary has a much better definition than Merriam-Webster) as I had never heard of it either. Having done so I do not believe any US state unemployment office worker would ever use this-aside from anyone having any idea what it means

At least you can say thank you.

Obviously Andy and the Job Centre don’t speak the same language.

I don’t know the meaning either.

Who says you can’t learn anything reading GoatKomixs?

Isn’t louche a bathroom, oh, no, that’s Loo..louche means what our happy camper is; disreputable, shady, shiftless.

Louche \ˈlüsh\ adj [F, lit., cross-eyed, squint-eyed, fr L luscus blind in one eye] (1819): not reputable or decent

I have never heard of that word either.

Also “Purple Suit Guy” looks like he wants to punch Andy.

Hey, Affie.

I forgot to tell you yesterday that I got paid from the surveys again. However there was a problem with Branded Surveys. Yesterday it asked for my phone number to send a verification text for security and it didn’t bloody come through. So I clicked “Resend Text” and then ended up getting both codes. However I had given up and had clicked off the website by then.

Today I got all my points back as they couldn’t authorise the payment without my mobile number. So I done the process again and it worked. My money is in PayPal so life is good.

Also, I discovered that the Chocolate Weetabix Breakfast Drinks are being sold at the Post Office/Newsagents again for £1. I bought one today before I went to the hairdressers so that saves me from getting one next week and paying 49p more.

So yes, I went to the hairdressers and had the usual done. See pic!

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

To be honest, I didn’t know what louche meant up until now. In fact, had never even heard of that word.

Andy is pickled enough for the picling job

Didn’t see a single comment that claimed they knew what it meant.

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers for pickling people at Perry’s Pickles.

Louche means seedy and disreputable in an attractive way.
