Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 10, 2022

the man has a point actually – someone must teach alcohol how to listen to others, no?

And Andy hopes it will never listen.

Andy could never be a lawyer in the US…he could never pass the bar! (yes that is an old old old joke!)

@Number Three ,Today’s strip IS funny, the way our HERO Mr Andrew Capp is ignored by his inner voice is priceless my avatar again is a picture of Rowan Atkinson as mr bean grinning because he’s in a good mood like I am how was your day? ours should not be too busy we both are in a good mood no shopping or errands to run just stay inside the house and keep hydrated because it’s hot outside Keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Why does Flo put up with Andy?

That’s like me with chocolate.

Andy’s just a shadow of his former self… And poor Alan’s not far behind….

“My mind is no longer my friend”

there is hope for Andy like the priest whose nose was as red as a beacon

by saying it’s white fifty times day and night he cured it and died an archdeacon

Alan, just stop talking and haul his sorry @$$ to gaol!!

After all, you’ve got a quota to fill!!

Heh.. good one.

In the real world Andy would be yellow, and dying a slow agonizing death. That happened to my daughter in law at 27. One of her kids is Special Needs with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. I realize its a comic, but the behavior it is having fun with, has horrific real world consequences.

Even though Andy’s reply is meant to be humourous, this is actually the first time I’ve seen any indication that he is aware that he’s an alcoholic and has, at times, tried to “say no to alcohol”,

Hear, hear, Andy!

Considering the bubbles that commonly emanate from fish in comic strips (like yesterday’s Frazz), Andy must be amphibious!

It’s more likely the alcohol just keeps calling out to Andy.

That’s like me with some certain foods.

Going to start using that from now on.

Hey, Affie.

Today I received confirmation of where my blood donation has gone. It has travelled to Whiston Hospital in Prescot, Liverpool. I am over the moon. I’ve always wanted to visit Liverpool simply because The Beatles came from there. So I guess I am there by proxy. Haha. I’m not sure if you know but people who are from Liverpool are called Scousers. People from the North East of England (like me) are Geordies. Apparently Geordies and Scousers are rivals. Guess that makes me a traitor LMAO.

It’s been another very warm day. I nearly forgot that I’m at the carvery next week. It seems to have flew over. So I’ve made my reservation.

Today I went to KFC and then went straight home. No library today.

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

As spoken by my drunken old man!

In one classic comic, Flo suggests that alcohol is making Andy deaf. Andy replies that the stuff he drinks is better than the stuff he hears.

What a relief. My Internet went out, but when it came back all I could see were the comments, not the strip. Then I couldn’t see Eldo’s classics. Both have come back.
