Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 16, 2025

ah one reason to have an American judge at this point I guess o_O

Hmm, I wonder what was the “cache”? Illegal drugs? That sure is some crowd at the Rose & Crown!

Are there seasons in Hartlepool? I don’t recall ever seeing snow on the ground or people bundled up for winter. As a matter of fact, does it even RAIN there??

Great Sunday double featuring the long suffering friend Chalkie!

Cash or cache, or maybe a cache of cash, it still works. And with a clear note of cachet too!

Here comes the judge, here comes the judge, here comes the judge.

Judgemental: when the judge goes mental.

“Yes, we like dressing up.”

Cache – as in the memory storage of his web browsing.

Our Andy wouldn’t know what a ‘cache’ was.

By the way – l thought Chalkie wasn’t back till tomorrow?

See yesterday’s strip.

CLASSIC ANDY CAPP Dept.

This single panel cartoon dates back to the late fifties.

Andy is giving Chalkie a piece of his mind as they walk into a bar.

“You were in a disgustin’ state last night, Chalkie! You dropped me twice on the way home!”

TIME MAGAZINE.

In 1963, when ‘Andy Capp’ went into syndication, Time Magazine described the drunken layabout as 5-ft 4-in and aged 46.

ooooooo, big mistake!

We should see Sid Scrivens. More entertaining than Andy drinking alone.

badda BING!. thank you, thank you very much. I’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitresses. Drive safe on the way home and God Bless. P.S. Take my wife… please.

That’ll do it, Andy. Don’t ever call the judge names.

You should be quite familiar with that old guy in a wig.

As for snow in this strip, I don’t recall many (if any) classic episodes with it, but in more recent years there were a few with kids making snowmen to mock Andy.

Do the judges in Britain still wear those pompous wigs?

Insulting a judge probably won’t get you a fair trial.

@Snsurone76.

There’s a classic strip with Flo asking Andy to pop round to Ena’s on his way to the pub with her brolly and handbag. She left them behind last time she paid a visit.

It’s raining and a copper shout’s, “Hey you!” Andy asks what he’s done and the copper says, “Nothing. I just wanted to hear yer speak.”

Leave it to Andy to remember

Momma you raised a loser in Francis

Does Andy live in a seashore town?
