Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 01, 2020

Well, at least Andy ain’t in the canal (THIS time).

At least our hero isn’t the one in the canal tonight. [Yet anyway]

Since Andy usually travels the streets blind drunk, a little darkness shouldn’t be much of a problem.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp guided someone else into the canal for a change :o) my avatar is of a kid listening to a popular song on the radio about not knowing much about anything reminds me of the good old days when we asked you for a link to any song we wanted, , how was your day? and being a nurse I know about any medical intervention , have you been pranked or managed to April fool anyone? our day should be busy but calm I hope while I am plotting to try and April fool Connie but I can’t think of anything and she is too wise to fall for simple pranks, but at least she has not managed to fool me yet :o) stay safe and BCNU pal.

This is somehow worse than the blind leading the blind! :D

Don’t expect to mooch a pint off that bloke later, Andy, when you see him at P&W.

I thought that Andy lives in Hartlepool, but Hartlepool dosn’t have a canal does it?

He forgot the pub is closed due to lockdown!!! lol!

You’d think Andy’s response would be along the lines of, “Thanks Chum, I’d love to show you the way! Buy me a pint while we’re there, will ya?”

“Hey, that’s my canal!”

At least Andy will find his way home and dry tonight.

I wonder if this guy has a wife waiting at home with her hair in curlers and a rolling pin? Or is that Flo’s trademark?

It would have been my cousin’s birthday today. She passed away in her sleep on 14th January this year. I was coming home from work when I found out about it. On Facebook of all places.

Now it’s my turn to say “Sorry to be morbid” As you say that a lot when you mention your sister and your Dad. It’s not morbid to remember and talk about deceased loved ones.

I’m still not tearing my hair out with boredom surprisingly enough but give it another week or so, I’ll then break out my “survival kit” which is basically a bunch of games I downloaded onto my phone. I’ve been looking at some online courses as well.

I hope you are doing great, pal. Let’s not forget those people who have lost their lives because of Coronavirus. No matter where in the world they are.

I replied to you on Andy Capp, 30th March strip. The comment was 10 hours old when I read it.

Thank goodness for that notification bell. I would have missed it otherwise.

A few (or maybe several, by now) years ago, a bunch of comic strip creators traded their strips around for April Fool’s Day—people creating strips that weren’t their own for one day. I was wishing they’d do it this year, when we need laughs more than ever!

Over on “Thatababy” there IS an April’s Fool’s Day joke of the kind I meant—check it out!

Apparently, no one in Andy’s town uses a flashlight.
