Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 04, 2020

anything to stop Andy from pestering him (as long it won’t be a second drink)

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny , our Hero Mr Andrew Capp being opotunistic turning age old quotes to bum a pint , but the bloke in the blue suit is no fool , he knows Andy too well :o) my avatar is a picture of my birth sign Leo roaring his head off with frustration , like I am because some of my electronic gizmos won’t work:o) come vitratta la vita mio caro meno vechio Amico? our day should be busy and confusing unless my youngest son Alex visits and fix things ,a bientot .

He’s got a million of ’em!

I’m sure blue suit has a good response to that. And it won’t be filling Andy’s glass.

Must be the start of Andy’s “work” day. His nose isn’t red yet.

But he isn’t offering.

Subtle hints, Andy. Subtle hints.

Andy is always willing to ‘turn’ a phrase in hopes of keeping his whistler wet.

he quoted WC Fields, the bible and my mother-in-law……

The fat between Andy’s ears is only equaled by that which is strangling his poor liver.

“Erm… No.”

Seeing as you’re preaching about “A friend in need is a friend indeed” etc. Why don’t YOU offer to buy him is next beer? I’m sure Flo’s money is just itching to be used.

Hey, Affie. I’m back! How are you?

Welcome back ,health wise I’m O K but my downstairs modem is giving me grief and Alex can’t come and fix it today

“Geez, how many hints does it take, I was just short of say’in, ‘Give a *%@!&+# beer’”.

Sorry to be off-topic, but our Super Bowl parade is tomorrow! I walked 90 (that’s ninety) blocks down, and the same 90 blocks home for the Royals parade in 2015. And if the other 800,000 people there that day hadn’t decided to stand in front of me, I might have SEEN some of the parade!

In Andy’s case, a friend in need is a friend who wants to get wasted.

Rule of Capitalism #27, a friend in need is a customer in the making.

That was a question, Andy, not an offer.
