Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 07, 2023

the pot is back, though to be fair, Andy usually doesn’t have a pot to PI$$ in or a window to throw it out of…

This strip is becoming increasingly stale and unfunny. Maybe if the current artist(s) had billing…

…and it’s possible you’ll leave by the chimney!

Send him to debtors prison.

Just got home from boozing, the knock at front door’s confusing!

Got to lie down, take a rest on the couch

Dept collector gets in, pretty soon I’m sighing

Doo, doo, doo, comin’ in my back door…

My “breaking and entering/ burglar alarm” is going off

CALL THE POLICE ANDY!!!

You’re still not going to get paid!

Andy’s feet never touch the sofa. Just noticed that.

Normally that would be called something like “home invasion”. But I guess that Andy - sort of- told him to come in.

" Came in through the bathroom window…"

You can’t get blood from a turnip.

Smart move – blame the jolly Britons for not being original lately!!

That was the easy part. Good luck on getting Andy to pay his debts. At least until Flo comes back and he can rifle thru her purse

What do you think you’ve accomplished, beside breaking the law?

Debts going a little too far.

Well he got further than most debt collectors, he at least caught site of Andy.

Too bad you didn’t come with cops to have all his possessions removed and him hauled to jail. That would have been really fun.

Now what, Andy?

Ya can’t get blood from a Capp…

I’m reminded of an episode of The Honeymooners, where Ralph (Jackie Gleason) is trying to duck the landlord to avoid paying a rent increase. He thinks he’ll sneak out of his apartment’s back window and down the fire escape to go out for food, because the landlord isn’t clever enough to have thought of stationing a cop back there. Ralph had about as much success as Andy does here.
