Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 03, 2024

pardon him, lad – the beer had been talking for a moment there

Andy never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

More money for the ponies, but not for buying rounds!

Don’t the taxpayers of that shire ever protest supporting that worthless bum??

Turned his speech on a sixpence he did!

must be an election year!

It will bump you up into a higher tax category and they will get it all back and a lot more when you do your taxes.

Nice save, Andy!

Amazing how an attitude can change.

Geez, what do you want for doing nothing?

And doles are tax-free. Just ask our student loan borrowers in the US.

We need a wind-fall like that!

Fickle Andy, fickle…

That’s good.

A rare victory for Andy. Bet it will all be spent on booze.

He shouldn’t be getting anything.

They missed the last cost of living adjustment and owe Andy a fiver after taxes.

That’s a “Chance” card in Monopoly: “Bank Error in Your Favor.”

More money for gambling

More money for gambling

Life on the dole, haven’t got any money. (Now I do!)

Life on the dole is no fun. (Tis now!)

It’s Saturday night, and you’ve got no money (Now I do!)

So you have to walk the streets (Nope)

It’s Saturday night, and you can’t go to the pub (Look out Rose and Crown)

There may be a legal obligation to pay more to Andy, but I don’t think the taxpayers would say they owe it to him.
