Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 20, 2024

Nicely played, Andy. But you need more to bribe the vicar into handing you some

If you actually got and kept a job you wouldn’t be so poor, Andy.

It was worth a try.

Notice how the vicar’s collar turns around whenever he does.

And it’s the only thing that our Mr. Capp remembers from "Bible Study!!!

;-)

My friend said that it doesn’t matter what the beggar does with the money. He can buy food, buy a beer, or place a bet. What matters is that you gave him some money.

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” – Matthew 6:21

I am allergic to work. Whenever I try it, I break out in sweat.

Just don’t Andy.

There’s Scripture for every occasion. I do abuse this now and again.

Any angle, that guy, to get money.

Uh oh, another Vicar who may have skipped over Mathew 7:1 in his readings.

Acts 20:35 It is more blessed to give than to receive. There, I just gave you some advice.

2nd thessalonians/3-10: if anyone does not work, he shall not eat.

Better to give than receive, Vicar. Blessed Art Those Who Art Generous to Andrew Capp.

If he got a job, he would not be Andy Capp

2 Thess 3:10-12 If anyone is not willing to work , let him not eat. 11 For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work , but busybodies. 12 Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. ESV

You were so close Andy, but you lost after asking the Vicar for money.

Reminds me of when Compo found out the Vicar had a poor box

Andy has no boundaries………

what’s your point?

Don’t knock Andy. He is allergic to “work” and needs more than the Dole and Flo to support his habits. Booze, women, gambling, pigeons. A legend in his own mind err time.

Forget it, Andy.

There are so many scriptures the vicar could’ve recited to Andy about drunkards….

Andy is smarter than you think: He proved the vicar is a fake Christian.

So much for practicing what you preach.

nice try

“Neither a borrower nor a lender be” … Oops! That was Polonius’ advice to Laertes in Hamlet, not a biblical quote! Still, I’d rather quote Shakespeare than Samuel.

The vicar is quite willing to help the poor. He is not willing to fund the vices of a ne’er do well.

The vicar’s face expression in the last panel is gold.

Nice try, Andy This is a good example of how people will use religion to get what they want, regardless of whether they actually deserve it.

Don’t blame the vicar for saying no

It’s inconceivable that Andy is better at working the bible to his advantage than a pastor who’s professionally trained at a seminary where that’s all they teach.

I guess it’s gotten to the point where Andy can’t even live within Flo’s credit.

Vicar is only following the most important rule of Christianity: Do as I say, not as I do.

Pharisee?
