Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for March 01, 2025

umm actually he has a point with this one – guess ale brings Andy to his senses (or his senses back to him? ah well…)

I agree; Jack should keep the door closed—and locked—before that worthless moocher enters!

Ton 80 dart Andy. Go for Dble Bull now.

So, when I was a teenager, we had a dart board in thebasement. One day, my friend and I were down their shooting darts, and he kepy ducking in between me and the dartboard so I couldn’t shoot. Finally, he got out of the way and I took my shot. Except he ducked back in, and my dart hit him right between the eyes. Thank God it didn’t hit him in one of his eyes!

Andy was going for a double top and hit a wooden top.

(Woodentop, a pejorative term used by plain-clothed British police for uniformed police officers.)

I’ve lost all faith and respect for the British police and so as far as l’m concerned, Andy scored a bullseye.

My bad!

In the original strips, Reg Smythe often featured WPC’s as well as male police officers.

…which brings us to another edition of…

CLASSIC ANDY CAPP Dept.

(5 panels.)

//////

In the first panel, we see a WPC standing by a wall looking disapprovingly down the street.

In the second panel, she holds her hand out and says, “I suppose yer know why l’m stoppin’ yer?”

In the third panel, Andy appears – looking the worse for wear, “Course l do, lass, l’m a man o’ the world.”

In the fourth panel, the sozzled Andy sweeps the constable off her feet and plants a big kiss.

In the final panel, Andy walks off and turns to the reader. The caption reads, “lt’s nice t’ know yer’ve still got it!”

(°C(l#,

I’d say Andy won that game.

l’m too good to you lot…

BONUS CLASSIC ANDY CAPP Dept.

(4 panels.)

//////

A chap’s walking down the street muttering to himself.

“…we’re losin’ our ability t’ communicate, that’s the trouble…”

In the second panel, he’s confronting Andy who’s walking from the opposite direction. He says to Andy, “lt’s murder at ‘ome, Andy, my missus doesn’t understand me – does yours?”

In the third panel, Andy replies, “l shouldn’t think so, mate – she doesn’t even understand me !"

In the last panel, the poor chap’s looking to the reader. The caption reads, “As l was sayin’…”

(°C(l#,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to all Andy Capp fans who should have had a birthday yesterday.

Perhaps you celebrated yesterday…

A splendid shot from Capp. An unannounced plan to stop the constable in his tracks so can make a hasty retreat out the back door and into the canal

Never any thought of personal responsibility here.

@Number Three.

There is a young lady called ‘Three’,

Whom is merely a number like me.

She loves Andy Capp,

But the new strips are cr@p,

Does anyone else here agree?

Where’s Inspector Kemp?

It’s hard to hit the bullseye when there are so many of them!

Andy calls, “Double top on the cop!”

And lock it so you can’t get in, Andy?

HaHa, a british cop goes EEEEK.
