Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 11, 2019

who told you that, Eric? an intoxicated Andy?

It was 1972.

@Number Three Today’s strip is a little funny , as usual our Hero Mr Andrew Capp has become a legend in his lifetime by paying for a round of drinks once :o) right? , my avatar today is an old photo of my paternal grandfather Carlo Grech , he had about 10 kids with my dad included , do you think there is any resemblance between him and me? I thing that our eyes look alike and the tache, , I was the only one in direct line to see my grand kid Princess Amy being born , how was your Finally Friday? ours looks like it’s going to be calm , take care pal.

If the bigger legend is as fake as the moon landings, is that to say Andy has actually bought a round once?! Shocking!

Big foot? Maybe. Loch Ness Monster? Possible. But Andy buying a round? Get serious

Someone is channeling Andy Kaufman.

That is so outlandish that even Snopes wouldn’t even examine that myth.

I’m not so sure that Andy ever bought a round but, in the last cel, he is hanging around……by his fingernails! ;o]

wow!! this national news!! we interrupt this program!!!!

If you’re going to start an urban legend/lie, at least make it believable. Like he paid for a beer. Of course you’ll still have the thread of doubt that it was his money.

The Yanks did have their Apollo manned landings – the big one is Apollo 11 in 1969 nearly fifty years now.

And now the Chinese sent their two probes to the moon and they landed successfully there a few days ago.

Of course crop circles would be a rural myth……..

“…not forgetting that day the new guys came up with a funny strip. lt was a Tuesday if my memory serves me right!”

What I don’t understand is why people keep buying Andy rounds. Is he that charismatic? I wouldn’t buy the leech a round. I know I’m mean. Ha Ha!

Another myth is that life gets easier.

It doesn’t.

@Afficionado

Yes, I think I can see a resemblance.

My Finally Friday was great but I didn’t win at bingo.

And there’s an even bigger urban myth…Andy was once seen sober.

The Moon Landings were definitely real. Andy buying a round? Not so much.

Andy has bought plenty of rounds. The mates are just too balmy to remember. Just ask Andy, he will tell you.
