Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 17, 2023

I think the vicar should do some penance after that one.

Considering he is sitting on a case of beer, I doubt he is there for the fish.

The vicar is the least vicar ish vicar in vicardom. Maybe encourage Andy a little?

wow … that vicar really knows how to smear it to the face o_O

Since Jesus was a notoriously good fishing guide (John 21:5, Matthew 17:24-27, Luke 5:6), the vicar is being un-Christlike. Except that Jesus was also occasionally sarcastic Himself. (Mark 7:9). Andy, you can’t win.

But his type of fishing brings a lot of pleasure to the fish.

Save the humor for the pulpit your exellency. Might keep this dodger awake.

The guy who lost the fishing competition was really upset.

He was totally out of line.

The guy who mans the fishing rods on my boat tried to convince me to vote for a candidate. I fired him.

Pole workers aren’t allowed to do that!

My strange friend always baits his hooks with okra when fly fishing…

He’s really into podcasting!

My friend ties fishing line to the zipper of his pants then throws homemade lures into the water…

He says fly fishing is great fun!

Andy is into fishing, but not catching.

Not to quibble, but maybe using bait would help. Just sayin’ Dilly! Dilly! Bring back the Blue Knight!

Maybe today will be the day that he catches a fish.

That remark won’t get Andy to your service, Vicar.

Spare the rod and spoil the fish?

In England they joke that the Aussies have a beer named XXXX because the Aussies don’t know how to spell beer, In Australia they joke that the POHMs (English) have a beer named XXX because the English not only don’t know how to spell beer they don’t know how many letters are in it either.

Andy’s Catch-of-the-Day got away.

And vicar wonders why attendance is diminishing.

Fishing is the tamest of Andy’s pleasurable pursuits.

So what’s Andy and Flo going to have for supper tonight then?

Andy gets no respect.

No wonder Andy tries to avoid the Vicar.
