Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 18, 2023

Chapter four: Canal.

Mocking another isn’t very Christian of you is it eh Vicar?

good burn Vicar!

I do belong to an English Teachers’ Book-Club… and we’re hard pressed to find the time to read five books a year…

Setting the Bar Low

So far no one has mentioned that Andy’s life is the subject of a best-selling comic strip and many highly successful book collections which sell around the world.

How about a comic strip instead?

I think that Andy just got snookered in the verbal exchange there. So maybe he should go inside for something to cheer him up?

Finally the vicar is getting the last laugh.

“18th Andy might have better luck at the BOOKies "

5 classics including a Percy plus several comments

About the comic. The canal and Gael would be in the the pub chapter. The missing chapter to me would be about pigeons. A chapter that seems to be left out also by the current authors.

Bring back the pigeons!

Chapter X: How It’s Easier for the Camel to Go through the Eye of the Needle than Andy Walking Past an Open Pub…. Or Andy Turning Down a Free Pint…. You get the idea. Free Eldos NOW!

Oh now Vicar.. better go back and re-read Mathew 7:1.

Thank you Eldo…..Please don’t sail off to Austrailia.

Andy’s book would be unlike any author’s.

Don’t forget the chapter on how not to choose a horse.

I didn’t think Vicars had it in them to be sarcastic.

The laugh is on the Vicar. Look how many Andy Capp collections there are out there. A couple on this site alone. Dilly! Dilly!

He knowsAdam like a book!

Vicar is a bit of a dick.

And the vicar wonders why his congregation continues to shrink.

Now, if you opened up a free ale and darts night at the church…

Andy, has already had the book thrown at him several times!

A little bit like this comic strip

Thanks Eld0 and Eld0 in the Future! BTW . . . FREE Eld0 & Eld0 in the Future!!! Bring back Percy the Rentman and Mary the Barmaid.

I believe there was a book that feature a character like Andy, the artful dodger.

Isn’t he already writing the book of his life since 1957?

Andy’ life is just Deja vu. Drunk . Broke. Wet.

Doubtless Andy leads a a very repetitive life, but he has been able to amuse a lot of people for well over 60 years so there must be something interesting about him.

Instead of Pub again, Chapter 3 could be Jobcentre/Scrounging?

Just for that I won’t give my usual hapney in the basket…

Cadging and Bludging for Idiots would be a good title.

Who’d have the Vicar could b such a smartypants? Regarding books, I think it would be great if there were a Complete Andy Capp book series, similar to the Complete Peanuts book series.

At least a couple of chapters with Flo; her cooking, “wasting” money at bingo…

har-dee-har-har, vicar
