Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 05, 2023

Sheesh!

and that, ladies and gentlemen, is how to build an economy.

Andy got left…a loan!

Andy’s strategy has bee used by many a scoundrel!

Probably didn’t word it right Andy. Try a different angle

Sorry, but you have to be rich to be allowed to do that.

New York real estate tycoon.

Andy, sneak back in when the bank is robbed.

Maybe he can apply in that purple building in the background.

I was 8 years old when I thought if I borrowed some money and put it in a savings’ account I’d make money. I was light years ahead of Bankman Fried. That was in 1954. Tne same year I thought I Could use an electric generator to power a motor that would drive the generator, Any left over electricity I could use to power my house.

Andy has been thrown out of so many establishments by now, he has a sure-fire landing technique!

True story. This older guy on my route who, let’s just say it wouldn’t be irregular to see a green cloud of smoke around his house at times, told me this story. Think of a guy with long grey hair, slightly spaced out, talking reeeeeeally slow in a raspy voice.

Hey brother, how you doin man? Watched any football games lately? (you get the idea, so onto the story) Hey, if you ever embezzle money, just make sure you embezzle enough money to cover what you embezzle. That way if you get caught you can just pay it back and you won’t go to jail. I know because this happened to a friend of mine.

I knew a guy that did that with credit cards.

If Our Be❤️ed Count says that is a Vote of No Confidence would that be considered a political comment? Asking for a friend.

I had a friend who worked at one of these places. A guy came in to borrow money to pay a bankruptcy lawyer…It didn’t work….

I’d chuck him out too!

Another thing governments can do that private citizens can’t.

Next stop, the debt consolidation service. If that doesn’t work out, he’ll try Willie the Weasel.

Bogus math, Andy.

This brings back Laurel and Hardy and one of the routines they had.

HAHA! Sounds like an EX President!

That almost seems logical.

That comes under the time honored phrase “Robbing from Peter to pay Paul”. Andy is obviously not an experienced conniver.

Borrowing from Peter to pay Paul to pay Larry to pay Jim…

Worked for Enron and many others.

For a while, anyway. Amway, anyone?

Now all these years we just thought Andy was lazy, turns out he’s not too bright either.

Oh. If only. I love that idea. Haha.

xxx

Brilliant? More like stupid.

We have heard of “refinancing”, but Andy is the pioneer of “pre-financing”.

A certain Mr. Ponzi would be proud.

Andy only you would think of that idea
