Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 26, 2020

you’re a man of limited vocabulary yourself, Andy

@Linguist Today’s strip would have been funny if our HERO Mr Andrew Capp was literate enough to play scrabble but at least he’s sober :o), my avatar is a picture of Leo roaring his head off because he’s happy like I am now that our lives have returned to normal and our three legged Bella is back home and perky , comment avez vous passe votre jour mon moins vieux ami? our day should be busy but calm I hope a bientot pal

More experience than inspiration, Andy.

Clueless

DUUHH!!

Unobservant, clueless, infantile, egocentric …

Unindustrious is 13 letters. Even if the word “dust” was on the board prior, you’d need two more letters in just the right place to play that word.

I’ll give you three guesses and the first two don’t count.

When we were dating, my wife caught me cheating at Scrabble. She never played with me again.

His mind is scrabbled!

Andy is champion at Aggravation (marble game)

And if Andy were just a little less industrious, Flo could come up with even more words.

Inspiration. A four syllable word. For Andy, that’s awe-inspiring,,,,

I’m impressed by Flo’s newfound vocabulary. Must be the new cartoonist’s doing.

Now this is one of the funnier Andy Capp strips I’ve seen.

Keep it up Flo, idle, apathetic, lazy, slothful, unproductive, worthless, you got this game won.

You have to ask? At least she keeping clean.

There’s a reason I read Andy last.

look in a mirror you clod

Is “Bone-idle” a word? I’ve seen her use that one a lot.

The look on her face!

Lip’s don’t unpruse!!

She forgot “inebriated.”

She could be cribbing them from magazines, if there were still “women’s magazines” that serialized soapy melodramas. Remember Charlotte the spider solicited contributions of good adjectives for her billboard webs.
