Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for October 04, 2023

lucky for them…

The Pig and Whistle was a Canadian musical television series aired on the CTV television network from 1967 to 1977. Filmed in Toronto, Ontario but set in a fictional English pub, the show featured an assortment of Canadian, British and Irish performers. One of CTV’s most popular programs of its day, The Pig and Whistle drew ratings of over a million viewers in the early 1970s.

Theme tune: “Come in – to the Pig and Whistle”:

And it’s still light out?

Homesteader’s sink plumbing….

Andy is blocking the pot, but I know it is there!

Oh you lazy buffoon.

Hard to keep your averages up with closed pubs.

Maybe now Andy can help Flo with the washing up? Then again, maybe not!

The pot is missing.

Capp should feel quite at home there. After all, he is a pig, and he whistles at all the pretty “birds”.

And Andy forgot about that….strange that he did?

As we say in engineering, “Within experimental error.”

He wasn’t even allowed IN to most of them, let alone being thrown out.

Gotta be early – his nose not red and clothes are dry. Chalkie White must be home sick or on Holiday. Minnie the moocher home sober. >

I remember a verity show on a Canadian channel out of Montreal that was in a pub like setting called “The Pig and Whistle”

What about The Toot and Tell It?

I doubt the Pig and Whistle was actually closed, the owner probably saw Andy coming so he locked the door and turned out the lights.

Who knew pigs could whistle?

The Pig & Whistle. Now that’s a name I haven’t heard for ages! I wonder who owns it?

I tried to get in…

They must have seen Andy coming and decided to take preemptive action.

Leave it to andy
