Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 22, 2021

Good question, vicar

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny the reminded of Hemingway because he saw our HERO Mr Andrew Capp with a tiddler ,my avatar is still the unfurled Maltese flag because i am proud to be Maltese , how was your day? ours is a bit complicated but we will cope I hope take care and thanks for caring young Lady

Looks like the fish in our fishbowl.

Well it wasn’t the smell of fish. It was the smell of the bait.

Where’s his beer?

The story was scaled back a bit for Andy.

Somehow I don’t see Andy reprising Spencer Tracy’s role in “The Old Man and the Sea (1958)”.

What will it take for Andy to become a master-baiter? …oops :D

that’s still his bait……

A BBC Masterpiece special called “The Old Bloke and the Sea”.

Now Andy goes home to write The Old Man and the Canal

Seems fishy to me, vicar.

Not Andy. He’ll catch tuna in a can at the market.

Here we have the sequel to Hemmingway’s “The Old Man and the Sea”:

“The Sloshed Man and the Canal”.

Drinking?

Ain’t no sharks going to be taking Andy fish Vicar.

Can you really not “plaice” the reason why you thought of that, Vicar?
