Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 08, 2023

No need to borrow. Just let him pay.

oh, how dreadful for Andy

uhh … that’s the point, Andy

Actually easier to tap him for a pint

Andy is mooch blocked by technology

Flo better hide her contactless card, quick.

I am pretty sure that Andy would never use the phrase “going forward”.

Irrelevant, just ask Chalkie for a pint, Chalkie just pays a different way!

Borrow the card, Andy. It’s contactless.

I’ve disabled that in mine, first thing. How dumb can you be?

Hard to hit the bookie without cash.

Andy, borrow means that it will be returned. When have you paid back ANY money that you have “borrowed”?

Like the song get a job!!!

Get a little reader. Dilly! Dilly!

Tonight, Guitar Bob plays a song that leaves Andy in tears, “Get A Job,”

Anyone check on Affie today? I hope all is well in Malta……Maybe it’s really nice outside, he’s got no errands to do, his wife is in a good mood, and they’re sitting outside in the veranda hydrating away from his computer…….It could happen?

The new “Andy Contactless Cash Card”

Technology has just cut off Andy!

As technology changes, so will Andy’s mooching methods. For that we must give him credit.

It was our turn to pay for the family meal, so I handed my Visa card to my son-in-law. As he left to pick up the take-out, he joked, “I’ll be back in a couple of weeks.”

Phone and Zelle or another such app.

You don’t, Andy.

I guess he’s tapped out.

Not only a card but also you can use your phone too!!!

Oh golly gee, now I can “tap” instead of “insert”! What an enormous improvement in my quality of life!

Do you ever get the idea that the consumer culture is having to try harder and harder to sell us — whether sell us on goods, or sell us on the consumer culture?

Andy experiences a new quandry to solve. (Don’t be tactless, Capp)

Why does he say borrow when he cant return it back.

I’m sure Andy will find some sneaky, underhanded way.

Tough, Andy. I know it’s only a comic but the way everyone keeps hanging out with him transcends reality.
