Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for March 26, 2021

Happy Friday, Cappers.

The wonderful Michael G sent me the following email: “That picture today is wonderful. :-) No, really. You could be a model!”

I now have another damaged phone screen as I spat my tea all over it and it got inside the phone. A more detailed version of “grinding a molar into powder”

OK. That didn’t REALLY happen. The phone thing, I mean. If I was the marrying kind, I think I would have proposed to him via email.

Well, I’m going to do a bit of food shopping tomorrow. Hope the weather is nice. As I don’t comment on weekends, somebody else will (rightfully) have a turn to be Featured.

See you later!

got that right, Jack

“The bar is always set too high by the man. Man!”

The bar isn’t too high Andy, you are…so to speak…

It looks like the artists here are running out of fresh ideas. Maybe, it’s time for a complete makeover. For example, Flo is spun-off into her own strip where she finally dumps that worthless bum for good and makes a new life for herself far, far away from Hartlepool.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny, our HERO Mr Andrew Capp unable to stand at the bar complains that it is set too high , poor Jack deserves a sainthood for being patient with the drunken little git :o), my avatar is a photo of a Hyundai i20 like my car to remind me that now that the works are ready and paid for, mine is coming back in my home garage and I can go for a drive again , how was your day? our Finally Friday should be busy but subdued because Roman Catholics in Malta celebrate the day of our Lady of Sorrows and refrain from eating meat or sweets, so I am not having my fav nosh which was going to kill me last week, we are both in a fairly good mood so we should cope I hope and our land line cordless phone is fixed, keep safe and thanks for caring Young Lady

You can tell it’s a low energy day when the cartoonist stretches one panel to cover three. I think the syndicate should dock his pay. A little more scenery and customers might have saved the day but not for this lay about.

Keep your chin up, Andy. Hang in there! :D

This guy would’ve been flagged long ago, even in the meanest bucket o’ blood in the USA. What’s the story here? :-o

You’re just too drunk!!!

…But the bar can’t be low enough for Andy.

But it seems to be wide enough for the purpose at hand.

James Cameron raised the bar in Season 16, Episode 9. Blame him.

In the States, New York at least, it’s illegal to serve a visibly intoxicated person in a bar. If they get in an accident after leaving, the bar can be sued.

It makes our day to play little tricks on you by changing the level of the bar.

Where’s Andy’s support group?

That’s a HECK of an example of great social distancing.

Oh no! I’m sorry you will be missing out on your favourite nosh today, pal. But you will enjoy it all the more next week. Or even if you choose to have it tomorrow instead.

Great news about your landline.

Well… Another week has been and so I will be here until the turnover. Have a great weekend, pal and see you on Monday. Stay safe, stay well and stay happy.

It just seems that way because you had too much to drink

Today’s week offering looks like it should have been a Sunday strip topper with a 3 panel gag underneath.

The bar isn’t too high, Andy. You’re just too wasted.
