Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 25, 2022

Beer sooths the savage beast

one can’t help but wonder what sport does Andy do here (definitely not football/soccer)

Usually when Andy gets canned, it involves losing a job…

Andy, you twit, you’re letting the other guy score int your team’s goal!

@Number Three Today’s strip Is funny the one thing stopping our HERO Mr Andrew Capp is the sound of a beer can opening is classical :o) my avatar is a spoof of a middle aged guy who thinks he’s God’s gift to women being slammed down by a clever younger lass, how was your day? ours should be quite calm, no shopping or errands to run just stay inside the house and keep hydrated till this evening when the greengrocer van comes up our street , keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

They fooled Andy, that was the sound of a Coca cola can being opened!

And if the unseen “lad” doesn’t have another can, that worthless bum will just swipe his!!

Andy in purple today!

Leap of reality. First thing, you foul the carrier. Drop back and slosh a beer and return to block the free kick. Am I right or am I right?

This opens a whole new can of worms.

And saved from being sent off too!!!!

Squirrel! In this case beer!

Ale out of a can? Only as a last resort, and then it must be poured into a glass.

That vendor just made a friend.

“I’m only here for the beer.”

You can tell a lot about a man by how well he sticks to his priorities.

I love the sound of cans being cracked open. In fact when I’ve been on the phone with Gweedo, I’ve told him to listen out for the sound of me “cracking open a cold one” but in my case it’s a soft drink. Not alcohol.

Hey, Affie.

What I’m about to tell you is not me showing off or boasting. It’s the truth: I get a lot of male attention. So I often wonder if I’m God’s gift to men? Joking obviously. I personally don’t think I’m anything special. I’m very friendly and sociable even though I’m fairly introverted. Some introverts do have good social skills.

Today I visited a beautiful town called Jesmond in Newcastle upon Tyne, I went there on the train. I’ve gone past it but I’ve never actually been there for a walk around. I visited a pub called “The Lonsdale” if Eldo would like to look that up. There will be photos on Google Maps. However I was rather shocked that a pint of Coke there was £3.20. It’s £2.80 at the pub in my town. Ah, well. Still an enjoyable and pleasant visit.

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

Booze to the rescue!

Saved by the tab of a beer can!

That sound’s to be heard at my place nearly every summer day at around sunset. It’ll be me feeding the slugs that come into the veg bed at night. Today I filled all the little traps following a shower of rain, only to have it rain again after dark. All diluted, two cans wasted…will try again tomorrow.
