Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 04, 2010

That construction project has been going on for 50 years.

Andy is not a handy person at all!

Andy, nice of you to help Flo like that. Get a beer, watching is hard work.

Side walk supervisor.

I would imagin that Andy has spent some time laying under the sink himself, but probably doesn’t remember.

Your needle’s stuck, WORDMAN33.

And only Andy would complain that Flo MAKES him get her a cushion for her back when she’s fixing the sink!

Whenever you accidently double post (or quadruple post) it’s easy to delete the extras.

I see it’s another “Why doesn’t she boot that useless freeloading loser out the door” days!

Wow… Most guys would never admit they’re less mechanically inclined then their wife. Andy might be a stand-up husband after all?

What Andy is saying how dare Flo ask me leave my cushiony/comfy couch where I was sleeping, bring her a coushin for her back when she should get one herself. Selfish of Flo. Or better yet why couldn’t Flo bring Andy a beer while she got the coushin herself.

I hope it wasn’t the pillow from his couch…

@Macushlalondra: ain’t it always a “Why doesn’t she boot that useless freeloading loser out the door” day? lot of folks don’t seem to realize the strip is only funny because of the dichotomy.

With that construction going on for so long, you’d think that Andy could have gotten a job there. Or at least gotten Flo a 2nd job there. It’s on the way to the pub, not past it.

And as for Flo needing a cushion, I can understand Andy’s frustration. By now she should know to bring the cushion with her when she starts the job.

chol, if the horsefly annoys you, just flick your tail at him once in a while - you don’t have to try to stomp him to death with your hooves. :))

Seriously (and I don’t mean to be mean, if you know what I mean, to either you or Joe), you’ve seen me praise Joe and you’ve seen me be annoyed at him. The truth is, sometimes he speaks to us and is both concise and funny; and sometimes he speaks to himself and rambles. Either way, some here like his style and some don’t. There’s nothing that’s going to get him kicked off in any case, even if he IS flagged.

Maybe the best option in your case is to install this free app in your brain:

Q: Joe-Allen “Joe” Doty? Y: Scroll down. N: Keep reading.

That makes sense. Scroll past his comments if they bother you so much! Why do you flag him if he’s said nothing inappropriate? If all he’s doing is rambling why does that bother you so much? He’s an older man and probably likes to reminisce about his younger days like any of us who are getting older. But some of you treat him like he’s some kind of criminal and that’s just not very kind.

If you cann’t do a job give it to your wife.
