Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 21, 2023

Playing ball

someone calls a psychiatrist – who bribes Andy to be in HIS team?!?! o_O

Andy’s loyalties are alcohol driven…

Why not make it three beers? The guy seems desperate.

You’re talking to the WRONG person, Mister!!

So long as he doesn’t get YOUR place on the team!

OK, we could use your head for a spare ball.

In this case, “might” means “fat chance”.

Every man has his price.

“For three beers you can be Captain!”

He never said Andys team… stupid englishmen!

You can be our “sacrificial goalie” when we play the league champs….

Kind of like we know what you are but are establishing the price. Hold out for three, Andy. At least.

Two “heads” are better than one.

Where’s Eldo when we need him? This is an old gag that was done back when Roger Kettle was writing the Andy Capp gags, and he may have even reused it from a Smythe original.

The cut-n-paste cartooning spoils what little humor there was.

And there you have it, lad!

Bribery works better at the right price.

Maybe the coach will appreciate that Andy recommended a replacement.

They do need an extra player, considering how often Andy gets red carded.

For two free beers, you get Andy to do almost anything, except of course work.

Two of us riding nowhere

Spending someone’s hard-earned pay

If he bought Andy a whole keg, he’d definitely be on the team.

that’s quite a bargain there

What’s he carrying?
