Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for March 02, 2023

two men run into a bar; one of them doesn’t duck

Low bridge Andy! Low bridge!

Somebody’s going to have a headache even before he’s had one sip.

sometimes I wonder who consumes more beer than the other, Chalkie or Andy

If Andy is out, Chalkie can save a few quid by not having to buy him any beer!

Andy is just hanging around again.

And here I thought that the bar was set to high for the likes of Mr. Andy Capp.

Andy’s in a jam and got hung up.

The boys in blue are, of course, Hartlepool United Football Club rather than the police whom Andy dislikes although he knows one of them well enough to call him “Alan”.

That doesn’t seem to be a whoop look on Chalkie’s face in the first panel. Did they censor his actual word there? Could it have been something of the *$#@! nature? He does seem to be quite happily relieved in the last panel.

Funny, Andy’s passed out without even taking a drink.

Kinda sad how everyone sorta just forgot about Affie. Guess it’s like The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Last time Affie went on hiatus, everyone was concerned and sending out the search party. This time, it’s as if he never existed. Perhaps the rain finally let up in Malta

As Bugs Bunny (I think) said, Lola Brigida, ducka u head

UP CITY !!!

Now that was funny.

Andy is counting stars!

Andy needs an aspirin.

\\//_

Oh, Andy? He’s just hanging around.

Victory has its costs too.

Wow! A red puffy nose and stone sober!

Already out…

What a low blow

Instant Hangover !

During a very long guitar solo in Whole Lotta Rosie Angus Young rode on Brian Johnson like that as he ran through the stands.

Of course, several yellow-shirt guys the size of Gilbert Brown were running interference.

OH! He’s in a jamb!

Very funny. By the time Andy comes to, the Pub will probably be closed.

“Boys in Blue”? Shouldn’t it be “Purple / White”?

Oh, come on! Andy’s not that tall. Even on Chalkie’s shoulders, there’s no way he’d hit the top of the doorway.
