Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 29, 2022

They’ve got him trapped. Trapped like a rat.

Did she make sure the windows are locked too?

You may find Andy holed up in the fridge Flo!

He has gone to hide his beer.

uh oh – what about the bedroom window Flo?

Man I’d be out the front door so quick that it’s a statement !

Looks like Andy is a Scone’s throw from boredom and keeping his temper. Maybe he can ‘spike’ the tea.

If the windows are locked, break one!

That’s one trifecta that Andy does not want to deal with.

Is Andy really waking up or is he having his worst nightmare?

It would be interesting to see this play out in tomorrow’s strip and get a glimpse Flo’s mum & sister – 2 characters rarely, if ever(?), seen…

Sounds like an intervention is on its way!

I think she’s forgotten to close the kitchen window!!!!

May I ask why the Vicar, mum and sister are visiting Flo – Social or remedial?

An intervention? About bloody time!

Andy should pick up the phone:" There’s an emergency at The Rose and Crown? Chalkie’s in big trouble? I’ll be right there." Then run past them out the front door.

Yikes!!

INTERVENTION!!!!

That’s why you hold the front door open to let them in then slip out as they take off their coats.

Time for a “reverse Santa” out the chimney.

If they’re all there, do Flo and Andy have more than one couch?

A triple threat!

That seems like a safety hazard to be able to lock the back door from the inside and needing a key in case of a fire.

…..but not the window?

But did you lock the back windows?

All of Andy’s luck is bad luck.

No escape now! Enjoy yourself, Andy.

On another note, Roger Mahoney recently passed away on 5th November at age 89. He retired from the Andy Capp strip in 2020. I found out in an Andy Capp group that I’m a member of.

Those who remember Number Six (a former regular Capper) he was never a fan of Mahoney. Number Six now draws the cartoon strip “Insanity” for Infinity Magazine on a monthly basis and moved to Rutherglen just over a year ago I believe.

If only certain people on here would bother to get Facebook then you would see for yourselves what he is getting up to in life! ;-) Not just words on a screen. Photos too! I do have his email address however if anybody would like it.

Andy could always try flushing himself down the toilet. (Just kidding, that would never work.) Good to see that Affie’s back.

Did you lock the windows, too, Flo?
