Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 21, 2018

’twas worth a shot, Sargent

So who posted bail? I don’t see Chalkie or Flo and Andy wouldn’t have money for bail

Oye sure and the bed in his usual cell is still warm;all ready and just waitin’ for ’im.

@Number SixAgreed. Panel 4 telegraphs the gag ( although maybe not as much for the Yanks, unfamiliar with the Bil’s " ‘Allo, ’allo, ’allo…What’s all this then ? " )

I’d have dropped #4 and left #5 since we wouldn’t know who was speaking or what was happening.

The ‘payoff’ line is weak in panel 6, as well.

2/10 is spot on.

Bad things come in pairs Cappers!

What is it with “GO COMICS”. They don’t understand that I am not going to become a member and they just have to keep hounding me? I guess they think if they use enough ‘pop-ups’ that I’ll give in……WRONG. I’ll just go somewhere else. Must have voted for ShrilLIARy.

@Number Six

You have given all the Smythes I have posted a 10/10 rating. This may be because I have only chosen the ones I really like. The best of the best so to speak. Starting today, temporarily at least, I am going to choose my Smythe entries strictly at random.

“You can check out but you can never leave……”

“You arrested him, you fill out the paperwork!”

This made me laugh although I agree with Number Six about the 4th panel giving it away.

He’s baaaaacckkkkk!!

A wise investment, Sarge… a wise investment, indeed…

Intoxicated is too fancy a word to refer to Andy, How about blotto, soused, drunk as a lord, tippled, squiffy, off his face…
