Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 22, 2019

What an oaf Andy is.

If you knew your frying pan would have a dent the shape of ’is ’ead.

Time creeps up on all of us, Andy. Best to learn to live with it.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , our Hero Mr Andrew Capp making a fool of himself to impress the buxom lass that he is not old by lifting Fat Stan on his back and ending wit a world of pain is priceless :o) , my avatar is a depiction of my Birth sign Leo roaring because he is in a good mood like I am our Sunday should be busy as usual but calm I hope , have fun and thanks for caring Annelisse

I think this is the first time we’ve actually seen fat Stan, isn’t it?

My name isn’t Stan, it’s Jim, but I assume they had to change it for legal reasons.

Andy should have started out small by hoisting a keg of beer and running with it.

Strong as an ox, and almost as smart

No fool like an old fool!

Andy >flexing his muscles<: See that? Every artery in me body is hard as rock!

I can think of a bloated old politician who makes the same claim…

This situation is too true for all men. How many times have I done something almost as stupid because my pride does not admit that I am aging and am unable to do some of the things I could do 20 years ago?

Andy, after all that effort to impress her, I hope the young lady made it worth your while (and if so, I’ll assume you just told Flo that your aches and pains are due to carrying Fat Stan).

I actually think she’d get a good laugh if he admitted he was trying to impress a lady.

Well, he succeeded didn’t he?

He doesn’t look like an ox, but he probably smells like one.

Correction: Andy is as dumb as an ox!

And as ugly as an ox too…

Does he actually think he can score with that young babe?

“…I’m 37. I’m not old…”
