Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 26, 2021

and how do you propose, Andy, Chalkie goes to drinking cider if you keep mooching him to pay for your pint of ale?

I need a change in my life; I think I’ll switch from root beer to cola.

@Number Three Today’s strip is slightly funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s solution to Chalkie’s giving up beer by changing to cider can barley raise a chuckle :o{ my avatar is again my birth sign Leo roaring his head off because he’s happy like I am , how was your day? our Manic Monday should be very busy as it usually is but we will cope I hope , we both are in a reasonably good mood , no shopping to be done but we need to go to our pharmacy to collect our prescription drugs then we can relax a bit, keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Some like it hot? I don’t its a furnace outside in Malta

For a change of pace, join Andy in the canal some evening

Just to clear it up for U.S.A. based fans, he’s talking about HARD cider, not what we Brits call apple Juice.

Hmmmmm,beer seems to be the answer for Andy’s problems!!!

Just for a change….

Cider for you Black and Tans for me Mate

I hope Andy is referring to Scrumpy!

Had a couple of pints in a pub close to Swanage in Dorset!Took me a whole day to recover!

It says somewhere “An apple a day keeps the Doctor away” It didn’t say that the apple had to be solid though. And nothing was said about fermentation.

That may be too much of a change.

That was kind of a low blow.

You would still mooch off of Chalkie Andy no matter what the drink is.

Variety is the spice of alcoholic cirrhosis!

No beer guzzing, no Andy Capp comic.

You could try sipping.

And then a whisky drink, and then a lager drink, and then a vodka drink, then sing the songs that remind you of the good times, the songs that remind you of the best times. ( Don’t cry for me, next-door neighbor… )

That thought might get Andy tossed into the canal.

Hey, no wonder Andy keeps drunkenly falling into the canal. It’s right there outside the pub!

Today’s strip gives a real sense of walking along the canal. Well done.

As long as Andy doesn’t lose his beer ticket.

Dixon Cider?

Snoopy once decided to make a “major change” in his life, so he turned around the other way on the roof of his doghouse, and went right back to sleep………

I’m actually eager to know whether they ended up doing that or not?

Haha.

Hey, Affie!

First of all, I just want to say that I’m so sorry for being away for so long. Believe me that wasn’t planned. I was considering coming back on Friday but it got to around 8pm my time without commenting and just thought I’d come back on Monday instead. You would have only seen me once and then I’d be away again at the weekend if I had commented on Friday.

I’m glad to see that you received my email OK too. You were never far from my thoughts. Much Love to Silvana.

My avatar today is me doing a standing pose with my dress riding up a little. Didn’t plan for that to happen. Luckily you can’t see anything you shouldn’t.

Tomorrow I’m giving a pint of my lifesaving blood so wish me luck! My appointment is 3:30pm.

Stay safe, stay well, stay cool and stay happy, pal.

Chalkie doesn’t look like a Cider Drinker to me – see link for typical Cider Drinker

Hard Cider. Sometimes called Johnny Jump Up.

O never O never O never again

If I live to a hundred or a hundred and ten

I fell to the floor and I couldn’t get up

After drinking a pint of old Johnny Jump Up

Andy probably doesn’t care what Chalkie does, as long as he pays for his drinks.

Could be time to negotiate parting terms.
