Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 11, 2023

The barkeeper has got to make a livin’ though.

well vicar umm …. it’s way past your active time too but Andy is not complaining! you have to give it to him for this

Wow Vicar, do you just wait outside the pub every night?

“No Vicar” Those belong to those nuns in your vicarage!!"

Andy has addressed them. Now he’s found his way to the pub.

After a wee nip of sacramental wine it’s the changing of the guard.

Buy me a beer, Vicar and you can tell me all about it.

Andy has some bad habits, and so does Florrie. Here’s a sample of each and I’m sure rjm will provide some more.

Does make one wonder what the Vicar is doing up so late and in front of the Rose and Crown. Something about pots and kettles name calling. Dilly! Dilly!

But, is this strip FUNNY? Or not? How can we tell?

Those mooched ales aren’t going to drink themselves.

Andy always has a friendly answer for the vicar.

G&G could have added a moon since they blacked out the features of the vicar & Andy!

Opening time? Looks kinda late for opening time.

“Yeah Vicar, I’ve addressed my bad habits. I tell you, it drives me to drink.”

That ale isn’t going to drink itself!

For his first bad habit to address, Andy chooses ‘lack of punctuality’!

When you have as many bad habits as Andy, the only possible way of addressing them all is through drink.

I would but I keep forgettin’ me bad habits address…

If it weren’t for bad habits, Andy wouldn’t have any habits at all.
