Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 17, 2023

well… she didn’t know she had a husband either shrug

Secretary of Affairs, obviously.

you would never be that lucky Flo…

He doesn’t have a secretary now.

The shocker was it was a male secretary.

I hope he left her enough to buy more purple clothes.

I wonder if Doris Dixon knows Doris Donaldson who has been mentioned in this strip before. They certainly have similar names.

Doris doesn’t seem very much the worse off for it…wishful thinking for Flo, though!

I don’t think they “eloped.” You have to marry to call it “elope.” :D

Thanks ‘Free Eldo of the Future" for today’s classics. I wish we knew what happened to Affie.

But she seems quite content…. Free both Eldos NOW!

Cheer up, Flo. Not only does Andy not have a secretary, he thinks Australia is over there around Germany someplace. Odd place for Kangaroos and Koalas, though.

Typo… Meant Austria

The husband and his secretary were going “down under” long before they left for Australia.

Doris could always apply for the vacant secretary’s job.

Maybe Flo will suggest Andy get a secretary.

LAME, TIRED, & LAZY!

G&G couldn’t even be bothered with their usual obvious cut-n-paste. Today they simply recycled an entire two panels from a previous cartoon and just changed the word balloons.

FREE ƹʅɗʘ!!! （◞‸◟）

There is always an option.

Did her husband clean out the their bank account before he left?

I would have told him to stay there and never come back. I hope Doris did.

@Everyone

Greetings from the Carvery! I forgot to mention in my comment yesterday that I was going. However it will be my last time for a while as I won’t have enough points for another £10 voucher for next month. So I’ll be giving the carvery a miss in June. I could still go but it would mean having to pay full price and I’d rather not. I’ll survive.

I will be ordering dessert soon. Chocolate Fudge Cake with Dairy Ice Cream. That’s practically two desserts in one. Mmm! Sorry, RJM if I made you hungry ;-)

After taking the plaster off from my arm this morning, I discovered a red needle mark but no bruise. Sometimes I have faint bruising or a slight needle mark. I think it entirely depends on the skill of the nurse or “Donor Carer” as they are called over here. Still buzzing (very happy) that I done it though. Savin’ lives and all that jazz.

He was the epidemy of deviousness.

Judging by her serene expression, Doris seems to be taking it well. He must have been a lousy husband.

Heave her up me bully, bully boys.Heave away, haul away!Heave her up and don’t ye make no noise,And we’re bound for Australia!

(chorus to sea shanty “Cape Cod Girls”)

He eloped because he was big on the miss.
