Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 13, 2024

warm with crocodiles

They both got red noses and it’s daylight in town. Either they had their booze early today or they’re finally going home at dawn..

I sometimes wonder,, what would happen if some strips—stuck in ruts for decades—had major overhauls.

There have been some minor changes: Blondie’s successful catering business, Adam@Home’s (temporary) job as a barista, et al,

In the case of this strip, Flo could finally leave that worthless bum for good and make her own life elsewhere (NOT with her mum!). He’d have to get a job for his beer money, and. end up as Guitar Bob’s roadie.

Something for the cartoonists to think about.

But then there would be crocodiles living in the canal.

But that’s never going to happen if your drunk.

If Andy was in North Africa – as he was during his army days – he could fall in the Suez Canal.

Warmer water breeds sharks. Re-calculating.

They have brown noses over here. Are they trying to impress someone?

Or not. Australia and Africa have sharks and crocodiles in their canals.

If he wad born in Siberia we wouldn’t fall in, just slide.

Andy’ version of splish splash!!

Chalkie has a point.

But there are fewer crocs in Andy’s neck of the woods.

I’m sure someone has asked this before – but why aren’t there any guard rails or fences to prevent cars / people / giant hamster balls from falling into the canal?

Australia has too many creepy crawlies!

How does his freakin’ hat stay on ??? No matter what happens to loser boy, his hat stays on.

Then Andy could choose between the Suez and Mulwala.

also eaten by crocs

I was going to post that if Andy lived in Africa or Australia, there would be crcodiles in the canal, but I see that others have beaten me to it.

I am sure everyone in town agrees with you Andy. They would love to see you leave their lifes.

Andy always keeps falling in the canal
