Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 11, 2017

There are times where I think I still look like a teenager when I take my eyeglasses off my 32-year-old face.

To me, the big contradiction about Andy has always been between his age, lifestyle, and condition, vs. his continuing ability to still play football/soccer.

Spot on Chalkie. And sure and he wasn’t,that’s Andy all right.

I’m 44, premature grey, I don’t mind. It gets me seniors discounts!

The only appearance Andy cares about is when is next pint going to appear.

My first job after I graduated from college was a paper route (hard job market at the time). When September rolled around I mentioned to one of my custormers that I was going to miss my school friends with the new school year starting. He gave me a puzzled look and said, “aren’t your high school friends still around?” I looked at him and realized he thought I was a recent high school graduate still in his teens, the look on his face when I told him I was a college graduate and missing my friends from college.

When I was in my early 20s, I grew a mustache so people would stop mistaking me for a twelve year old.
