Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 27, 2017

I would’ve thought Andy saying the street’s name.

Good morning, fellow Cappers! (Just a little shoutout to Aficionado, there!)

I think it’s funny that literally every bobby in London knows Andrew J. Capp by name!

Aye sure and Andy knows he on the right path even though everyone else says he be on the wrong path.

I would have said sidewalk

I don’t believe that you are really drunk as long as you can lay on the floor without holding on!

Ask a foolish question . . .

I was married to an alcoholic AND believe me , there is NOTHING funny about them. I don’t even know why I read this stupid comic. Maybe because I keep waiting for her to either kill him or divorce him.

Next question, “Do you know where you’re going?”

I fell over in a similar way not long ago. The embarrassing thing is I fell near a busy road so cars were driving past me. Why couldn’t I have fell where people wouldn’t be gawping at me from their car windows?

Sigh.

I know what you’re going to ask. Was I drunk?

No, I wasn’t.

While Hartlepool is not mentioned by name, it was the home of the originator of Andy, Reg Smythe, and Reg stated many times that the strip was based on his observations at home.

The strip was very controversial in the early days, because Andy was the prototypical stereotype of the Londoner’s vision of the people in the North of England; Idle drunken layabouts who lived on the dole. Editors were nervous about running it, but it proved to be a massive hit to Brits of all classes, including the cosmopolitan Southerners.

Was he named Handy Capp because he bets a lot?

Saw a woodpecker while out walking today.

At least he’s not in the canal!
