Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 04, 2022

some responsibility

hehe … good luck (NOT)

@lING

Nothing like discussing responsibility over a pint.

@Ling Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s sense of responsibility goes dormant if there is a free pint to be had :o) my avatar again is a picture of my birth sign Leo roaring his head off because he’s in a good mood like I am , come passerai il vostro Sabato mio meno vecchio amicho? our Saturday should be slightly busy, but we should cope I hope , we are both in a good mood no shopping or errands to run, just stay inside the house and keep hydrated keep safe and a bientot pal, about the covid jab , my doctor advised me not to have it

Andy may never get ahead

You only go ’round once. Best not to do it parched.

And then another one….

Just when one tries to turn a new leaf and be a better and more responsible person. Something always comes along and trips you up. And then you are back to your old ways, sigh.

And then another, and another, and…

HA! No way Mr Capp was going to turn down a free pint. Our Hero not only has his priorities but his high standards to uphold. Dilly! Dilly!

Second thoughts have now come to the fore.

Responsible, anything that goes wrong Andy is responsible.

Well, the job center can forget about Andy showing up.

He’ll show up tomorrow. Dang I got the date wrong -again.

The devil tempts in many forms!

Shouldn’t make promises you can keep.

No such thing as a quick one. It doesn’t exist.

Let’s see … a choice between going on an interview for a job you don’t want, or going into the pub for a free pint with a pal?

Hard work vs. Free Pint? I think I know which choice will win hands down in this case!

Since when has Andy ever kept a promise?

In the third panel I was expecting to see Andy waking up from a nightmare.

A pint in hand is worth at least two leads in the job center

Carpe cerevisiam, or whatever.

As Time Goes By was one of those stories where people would “pop round for a quick half.” Nothing so convenient out here in the countryside. One has to lay in one’s own supplies for home consumption.

I was raised up in county side in N.C. Farming – tobacco, cotton, corn bean and such. It was dry back then. No booze of any type sold legally anywhere. Almost everyone made bock beer wheat or oat or barley and wine and lots of stump hole white liquor sold by boot leggers. They Made liquor at night in deep woods hiding from law- County would be smoky next morning. Old folks used 55 gallon drums make wine and bock beer. People say you would have to stand in a corner to keep it from knocking you backwards. Now all the store sell beer and wine and few people make home brew anymore. Old timers done died out and people want sissy stuff. I got one friend left that made stump hole liquor but he’s too old to make it any more. Nickname rabbit. Law never caught him but they knew he run it all over the County.
