Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 23, 2023

you can’t get a hold on celebrities that easily, gentlemen.

you guys could probably get closer to him if you don’t carry the big yellow case with your business written right on it! Just a thought…

Slippery little fellow, isn’t he?

To the pub you losers.

Just look in the Rose & Crown, fellas.

Andy is such an attention-getter.

Purple suit vs green suit??

No wonder Andy bogged off!

Dosen’t pay to be popular.

Eye on the prize

Why bother? He doesn’t have any money anyway. And they closed down the debtors prison years ago.

(Not that I understood the principle of debtors prison anyway. What good does it do to put somebody in gaol because they can’t pay you. As in where do they get money while behind bars? And somebody has to pay guards, meals, prison upkeep, and so on. So instead of getting money to repay debt. You are spending even more money after a bad loan.)

Andy is really committed about his loans – “Till debt do us part”!

Bring back Percy the rent man!!!! And free Eldo!

They should try Foghorn Leghorn’s idea. The results would be about the same…

Green Suit vs Purple Suit. ding.

Andy is at the employment agency. They’ll never think to look for him there.

Cooperation usually works better.

Not like you two were going to get anything from him anyway…

If two men were desperate for my arrears, I think I’d disappear too.

He left while you two were arguing. Try the pub and FREE ELDO!

The elusive Andy………

Some day I’m going to visit Hartlepool and look for purple suits and yellow cases with LARGE LETTERS on them!

The joke’s on both of you! Neither of you was getting any money!

Today’s attempt misses the mark yet again. G&G really needs to up their game with better writers. Instead banning the Eldos, I’d rather see GC hire them to provide the old strips we all would rather read…

Reexamining the briefcases, the guy with the debt needs to talk the with the loan to pay off his debt.

Let’s face it, those two were fighting over nothing, because that’s exactly what they would have gotten from Andy.

To be fair the debt man was closer. Also he has a lovely purple suit ;-)

@Everyone

Well it’s been a week since I donated blood. I’ll inform you all of where in the UK it gets sent to. Last time it went to Leeds General Infirmary. Second time it’s been there! It can take up to 3 weeks to find out. The longest I’ve ever had to wait was 16 days. The shortest being exactly a week.

Reminds of the Tom and Jerry cartoon “Suffering Cats” where Tom and another cat (I think his name was Meathead) fought over Jerry. Jerry outsmarted both of them.

Andy: They’re always after me arears!

oh, so close
