Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 20, 2024

Any relation to Holmabeer?

mhm – hope that answers your question, Vicar

I wonder if the real Hartlepool is as clean and well-maintained as it’s depicted in this strip.

There’s your answer, Vicar. What do you expect from someone who does not have much of a vocabulary?

I think it would be Inalent

Ian Dent, younger brother of Arthur Dent.

Ian never could remember his towel!

Way to go, Chalkie! You put that stuck up prig in his place!

A few weeks ago, someone posted a joke about a golfing wife choosing to play left or right handed.

Someone else, who’ll remain anonymous, complained about the nature of the joke, and promptly disappeared. I’m curious as to whether the original joke (and joker) are still around, hopefully. I can’t remember the identity of that commentator though. Can anyone else?

Not too many points in scrabble for such a word. Does save strain on the wallet.

You should’ve said his name.

It helps that everyone has their attention Andy, allowing Chalkie to get away with stuff when no-one is looking.

Ian Dent is on Facebook, listing Harvey Dent as his brother.

They’re a lot more fun than the sober indolent.

I have a strange suspicion. Andy Capp and Ian Dent would get along famously.

There you have it, Vicar

\\//_

Good answer, Chalkie.

Andy certainly has his propensities. But, except on the football field, they’re not all bad.

who is Ian Dent and why were he and his wife found dead in 2021 in Desford?

I’m with Chalkie. Don’t know Ian Dent chap neither. My friends are like Andy – shiftless and lazy.

And that is the truth, Vicar…

I want to keep a close eye on the money I lent him.

Gee, and I was hoping to get an answer to that.

Andy is truly In Dole-ent as it is HIS source of income, Flo’s pay notwithstanding.

Real christian thinking there, Vic.

What do you mean drunken!? Andy hasn’t been able to sponge much more than a pint in days!

Chalkie needs to clean out his ears.

Does that answer your Question, Vicar?

Never heard of the word the vicare said

Got to be British accent for indolent to become Ian Dent.

You can’t use those kinds of words around those people.
