Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 17, 2018

No kidding about that, Sidney.

AND DARTS AND A POOL CUE!

got that right!!

Sid, you ought to see the brave face he puts on while doing that! :D

The guy’s lumbago orchestra(ted) him getting out of doing labor.

@Number Three In Today’s cartoon ,Sidney does not know our Hero Andy too well do he? For Mr Andrew Capp work is a four letter word , his lumbago is selective , because he plays football , billiards and swims in the canal , How was your day ours was super , our local council took away the junk washing machine and Connie had fun using the new one (fun?)and I am getting the hang of using my Desktop with Windows 10 take care young Lady

And all Sid wanted was someone to steady his ladder. He would have paid enough for a pint or two a day.

16oz curls

This is how I got my plumbing license. In the bar,, Frank asked if I could help a few days and 25 years later I sold the business to my apprentice.

Says Andy as he high foots it into the pub.

Why I Became A Writer

I was:

Too lazy too work….

Too proud to beg….

Too chicken to steal….

And to honest to be a politician, or a lawyer.

A few bob? A bob was a shilling. That works out to be 5 cents in today’s decimal system. I wouldn’t work for him either.

I know comic strip characters don’t age but I’m guessing Andy is at, or getting close to retirement age now.

It’ll be the best day of his life when he is no longer expected to look for work

@Afficionado

Are you still in touch with Beviek by any chance?

My day was busy but not too hectic. I have to go to the dentist tomorrow. Ugh. Ever since I had teeth out, I always get the chills even if it’s only for a check up.

Luckily, I have an awesome dentist.

Glad you are getting used to Windows 10.

How come the people begging at stoplights are old white guys but the people at Home Depot looking for work are Mexicans?

You’re barking up the wrong tree, Sid.

Is Andy’s sign Taurus? He’s full of bull!

While I was in England there was a guy who usually hung out around the subway entrances begging for money. He was interviewed by the local press. Some people followed him one day after he left his begging spot. He would walk a couple of blocks to where he parked his BMW. Turns out that he was making enough money begging to have a house and family in the suburbs. That kind of blew his scam apart.
