Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 15, 2023

keep on going, please. I’m trying to learn as well (and do it for others, when I need to).

Andy is the original “alligator arms” patron!

He just wanted to see his Napoleon impression!

Maybe he left his wallet in his other jacket.

Shabbat shalom to my fellow Jewish posters.

Eldo, I hope you can come back from (voluntary? involuntary?) exile soon.

Oh…I thought he was teaching Andy a Masonic sign.

Everyone will think it’s funny in just a bit, Ted.

Magic Trick

Ted wound up in Hospital wondering what went wrong….

Why take it out, there’s nothing in it but dust.

Looks more like a good way to start a scrap with Andy.

I bet he doesn’t even have a wallet.

Who keeps their wallet in a jacket pocket? Better yet, who wears a sport jacket anymore?

With Andy it’s wallet in and fist out.

Today is my 57th birthday. Two nights ago, I was watching a 2003 episode of “Last Of The Summer Wine” which was called “The Secret Birthday of Norman Clegg”. Clegg was embarrassed at all the fuss that people make over birthdays nowadays so he and Truly were trying to keep Clegg’s birthday secret and celebrate it privately.

Two memorable lines from Clegg were “I remember when birthdays only came once a year. Nowadays, it seems like they come every six weeks,” and “I won’t tell you how old I am but I can’t remember what it was like before I had a bus pass.”

It would have been more funny if he was dressed like the artful dodger.

Brawling time.. ding-ding…

Andy will never do it unless he has a big win at the track.

There’s a big gap between “Know How” and “Want To”.

The last time Andy opened his wallet you could hear King George VI gasping for air!

Andy hasn’t taken out his wallet in years……….and years!

Andy’s known for having very deep pockets ( and short arms!)

As me ole Granny would say, “Andy’s as tight as the third coat of paint on the wall!”

She’d also have said that he was so tight he was constipated. He hated to part with anything!

Ted’s about to realize Andy has no sense of humor.

If you quit buying for him, maybe this idiot will quit showing up.

Say goodbye to some off your teeth mate.

Wallet? What wallet? Andy has a wallet? Who knew?

@Calvinist1966- Happy Big One! In January I’ll be 65 but I do not look like it!

Andy knows exactly what he is, he just doesn’t like anyone bringing it to his attention.

Funny place to keep a wallet, these Brits are a strange lot…

O Ted! Ted…Ted…Ted?!

In the third panel, Ted gets thrown through the pub window.

You would not find anything it anyway
