Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 07, 2023

but the guy, Andy, didn’t say to be honest so fast!! shrug

Andy, ask before you speak!

Honestly…

Was it a short-haired guy?

Gloria be, should have made the connection, with rubbish.

Well, what’s a little romance on the side compared to not taking the garbage out… :-)

Honesty was a bad economic policy for Andy. It was also an unusual policy for him to try.

Talking of policies, it is the King’s Speech today here in the UK. It is the first time since 1951 that we have had a King’s Speech rather than a Queen’s Speech although there was a very popular movie called The King’s Speech a few years ago. It was set in the 1930s and concerned the late Queen’s father George VI.

G-L-O-R-I-A Gloooooooorrria G-L-O-R-I-A Glooooooooorrria

And with Andy’s credit history, I seriously doubt he has EVER repaid a single red cent to ANYONE, so it would NEVER qualify as “borrowing”.

Why is his nose wrapped?

Never had a Gloria, Yet!!!

She must really, really love Andy.

“Borrow?”

we had a guy at the RR that got into a little trouble and was told he had to take a drug test, he told them he didn’t think he could pass it , but he did pass it and they pulled him out of service anyway.

I suppose that “sounding honest” is really the best policy.

I don’t believe He used those exact words, but God laid down that honesty principle throughout the Bible. For example: “Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.” Psalm 34:13

Good Time Gloria? The Curb Crawler? Oi! Dilly! Dilly!

Not always, Andy.

If Andy had taken the bins out, this would not be happening!

Honesty is one thing, volunteering information is another.

You think Andy’s nose looks bad, you oughta see Gloria’s fist.

Some people might chalk up Andy’s stupid admission to a case of a guilty conscience, but since Andy doesn’t have a conscience, I guess you can just blame it on stupidity.

While being interviewed by the police; an auditor; or an angry wife ~ never mention something until the other party does so first. Just keep a neutral face, look at the other party, and keep your darn-fool mouth shut!

How odd. Gloria’s married to the Bin man and Andy’s nose wracked up.

I agree with Andy in the last panel.

Also, I am still amused at the knot of that bandage. Hehe.

For Andy it’s more like “The truth hurts.”

Andy find out why Flo is mad at you before you speak

Is she the one who busted your nose? Or was that that her boyfriend?

Good time Gloria must have popped him a good one on the nose for not paying their bar bill.

It’s your big mouth that got you in trouble fella!!

Might be difficult to speak to that “lad,” Andy; a little googling reveals that the expression is often attributed to Benjamin Franklin.

I adhere to such policies as, “Keep your mouth shut until absolutely necessary” and “Always let the other person speak first” (as in this case, where Andy should have waited to find out what Flo was so mad about). I learned both of those from classic TV sitcoms.

He really is a trashy piece of work
