Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 10, 2021

And add some new ones.

It’s hard to believe a lazy man like Andy to be in Their Majesties’ military service.

Hup two three four, another excuse to get out the door!

Flo really knows how to to stop the little user in his tracks.

Well at least Andy remembers how to shoulder-arms and raise a beer mug in the proper British Army fashion. You gota do it by the numbers in the proper order.

Maybe he’ll pop over to the Rose & Crown …

Capp wanted to be an aviator in World War 2, but he failed the flight simulator test four times. One more time & he would have been the only Luftwaffe ace in the RAF!

There should have been better spacing. I took me a bit to figure out what or who, an IOUS was.

Did he wind up getting kicked out for indebtedness?

The question is can Andy really expect to get any free drinks from his old Army buddies since they are very well aware what a deadbeat he is.

On second thought…

A whole gang of Army guys whom Andy owes money to?

Enter at your own risk.

Hey, Affie. How did it go today at the police station and renewing your ID card and driver’s licence?

I’m really hoping you are going to tell me that your wallet finally turned up but you would have made another comment to update me if you had.

I went back to my volunteering today and it felt SO GOOD to be back in the office. It was very quiet but I ain’t complaining bout’ that. I got my photo taken today for my ID badge. I’m back there next Monday and I’m excited already. And by the way I got up at 8am and not 8:30am. I was under the impression I started at 10:30am for some reason. Good job I noticed! It would have been a mad rush.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal. I’m still holding onto hope that your wallet and everything in it will turn up.

That should be an interesting reunion.

I wonder if Andy has preprinted IOUs so all he has to do is fill in the date, the amount and the person he owes, then sign it.
