Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 27, 2022

Gee, how new is the other job center guy? He must not be familiar with Capp.

I wonder what would the job be? a piece of wood in the rail?

You should give him a job at the job center, he spends more time there than you do!

From I’ve heard of the British rail system, this seems accurate.

I bet Andy has never taken the Long Island Railroad and Amtrak. They’re notorious for being very late.

Al’s got a point there as to trains not being on time.

Seems to be a case of Erie Lackawanna.

The man must be a newly arrived immigrant.

For all the drinking/fighting he looks pretty good for some one 60+.

A slow, delayed train that is behind schedule will still, eventually, show up…unlike Andy at any job site.

He’s got a good point there!

I bet Andy would make a great narrator for Thomas the Tank Engine.

The train to Hogwarts Academy.

Face it Andy Capp has no intention of going to work,although harped make agoodbartender

Eldo, rjm, where are you? We need some oldies!

Wow, so many comments to be made about this comic, so little time.

They just need someone to sit on top and shout, “TOOOOT TOOOOOT!!”

Granted, he’ll fail. He’ll be shouting, “Toooo*hic*oooot….”

Great excuse, Andy.

I’ve made numerous rail trips between London and it’s airports and cities to the south in the past, and three rail trips within Scotland, between Scotland and England, and within England within the past 3 years. The London area trips all went fine. The trip within Scotland also went fine. Both of the other two had issues, but the rail line also gave a half price refund based on a delay of more than half an hour in one case (caused by a broken down train ahead that took a while to get around) and in another a train that had to stop short of the destination because of a mechanical fault. In that one they provided free access to any train that could get us there and gave a full refund. The system isn’t as good as that in India, but it’s not bad at all.

Obviously, that guy in the first panel isn’t very familiar with Andy.

The lack of punctuality of the British Rail system has been a thing for a very long time. https://youtu.be/DebqzbeY4aM
