Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 24, 2023

Are we certain that that’s blue water?

Is panel 2 foreboding panel 5?

the ghost of Christmas future

Aren’t these frames out of order? That ice “sculpture” of Capp should be in the last panel.

The Christmas spirit is clearly alive and well here. Perhaps because the Christmas spirits are already working on our boy Mister Capp.

He’s lucky that it wasn’t the contents of the gazunder being thrown over him. They were once very common in that area.

I doubt that Andy could freeze. He has too much ‘anti-freeze’ in his system.

A good Sunday strip containing three jokes. The upper strip shows two single panel cartoons with their own jokes whereas the bottom strip builds up to its punchline.

Andy, come sing in my street!

Speaking in my head: Time to put some head phones on.

Go home and have some sleep before Santa gets there, Andy.

Silent Night

Holy Night

All is calm

All is bright

Andy is so lucky to live in this century. That could have been the chamber pot in bygone days.

Alcoholism is funny.

Andy the snowman

Is that the vicar?

The snowman in panel 2 captured his essence while singing.

I was glad to see that Jack has the Christmas spirit. He seemed to be in a very good mood when he threw Andy out.

I saw a Saturday Night Live Skit where Will Ferrell sang “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” while spinning around and around. It did not end well. Just google “Mark Jensen Family Christmas” and you’ll see what I mean.

Next frame would be showing an ice sculpture to match the snow sculpture.
