Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 23, 2020

Oh?

He doesn’t know that yet.

I wonder if the British have a Bookie’s guild? It seems to me as if the whole United Kingdom would bet on almost anything. I know that isn’t true. But it is the perception one gets.

Flo is right, just like the announcers curse in a golf tournament when they say “this chap is one of the best putters ever, he never misses a putt less than six feet”

The bloke in reference then proceeds to miss a 2 foot putt!

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , Flo has no faith in our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s powers of intuition , if Andy bets on that football striker , he will hex him and cause his team to lose :o) my avatar is a cartoon of Dennis the Menace saying that since everybody else has had his flu shot , he need not have one , the kid could not bot be more wrong , would you believe that I had decided to have a flu shot this year because of the Covid 19 Virus pandemic , but they had run out of shots in the first hour, so I will have to wait till November :o{ how was your day? our Finally Friday should be busy but calm I hope , Connie is in a good mood and it’s not raining , keep safe and thanks for caring pal

Flo, have you forgotten your vows? For “better” or worse? Stop putting the (not-so-) good man down! :D

And Flo’s making the only safe bet. That poor chump will be struck by a bus within a month.

wishing some one good luck or something like that always turns the luck bad.

True!

The hex of Andy Capp is alive and well.

@Number Three My last paternal cousin of my generation who was 3 years older than me, passed away and was buried Wednesday leaving me the sole survivor

If Andy didn’t have bad luck, he wouldn’t have any luck, at all!

That ‘thanks a lot’ is going be sarcastic the next time he sees him.

I mean, Flo has a point, Andy.

When was the last time you won a bet on the horse racing?

Think about it.

Ah, I’m so sorry for your loss, Affie. Spookily enough, a relative of mine has just died today as well. He was my Dad’s cousin so he’d be my 1st cousin once removed. I had never met him, I have only met my Dad’s other cousins Pete and Julie but not Michael who was the one that died today.

My deepest condolences.

As for the flu jab, I am not eligible for one that’s free on the NHS. I can get one if I want but I’d have to pay £8 to get it at a pharmacy. I’ve decided not to, I’m perfectly healthy and have a very good chance of recovering from flu. Some people haven’t.

See you after the weekend, pal. Once again I’m very sorry for your loss.

Now, that, is funny! :D

It’s the curse of Andy Capp!

Why are the days staying on the 23rd?
