Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 18, 2021

Good for what ALES ya!

Beware of strangers bearing gifts.

Words fail me. Andy getting three cases of booze or the deliverer carrying said three cases without a hand truck.

Wonder what will happen when Andy tells the guy he’s not paying for them.

@Linguist Today’s strip IS funny , for our HERO Mr Andrew Capp ’it’s not who the person is but what he is carrying Ale the elixir of Andy’s life :o) my avatar is a picture of a billboard with the portrait of a Lady offering her legal services , no man ever won an argument with a female , I never have not even against our Calico queen Bella, come passerai il vostro Sabato mio piu meno vecchio amico? our day should be slightly busy but we will cope I hope no shopping or errands to run we both are in a good mood but we are staying inside the house in cool areas with A/G or huge fans because of the continuing heat wave’ drinking lots of chilled bottled water to keep hydrated keep safe and a bientot pal

Wrong step and it will be Door Splash.

He won’t let the IRS in but some stranger with beer…

What’s the difference between ale, beer, alcohol, wine, champagne, brandy, beer…

There is no difference, they are all composed of letters of the English Alphabet!

That could be Jack The Ripper for all Andy knows.

That’s where his money goes….

What Andy doesn’t know: the other sides of the boxes read: “These drinks have gone st”…

Watch out Andy! There is a Debt Collector on the other side of all that Ale. And once he can get inside your flat. Well…….

A friend in need is a friend indeed, but a friend with beer is a friend quite dear

Don’t tell him ’bout the first step! then you can catch at least one of the cases, shut the door and imbibe freely! (Yes, in my mind…)

Could be three cases of empty bottles that the stranger was returning to the packie to get his deposit back.

In the US some states charge a nickel or dime per bottle — Street people regularly check the trash bins here.

Oops, wrong house. Couldn’t see for the beer.

I never knew the Capp’s had waterfront property.

A smart debt collector would come to Andy’s door like this.

Anybody with booze is a friend to Andy.
