Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 17, 2021

But how did Andy manage to cadge someone for a pint? There’s a pint on the bar right beside him.

It’s a sad day for Andy when his scrounging skills let him down.

Maybe Doc can buy Andy a drink. And get things back to normal.

Forced moderation Andy?

Do Doctors carry around bags or briefcases with the word “Doctor” on them??

How can Andy cadge money off of someone when on Monday he was in the clink, stockade, brig, or whatever it’s called in Northern England.

That’s it? I thought Andy merely shifted his attention to gin, or whiskey!

Cadge – learned a new word today.

Is Andy’s coat longer?

Interesting. A doctor who makes bar calls.

How did his CNS handle that? :-0

I was thinking in a different direction. He wasn’t lying to the Doc, he was just omitting that a pint glass holds more then a drop.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Andy tries to cadge off the Doc next.
