Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 27, 2024

He was right. “Exactly like” him.

And all of you tried to mooch off one another! Surprising that all three aren’t either in the canal or in the cells for brawling;

Take heart — nobody would’ve bought the second, either!

As if she really needed to ask.

Nice to see the pot again, and to hear what we already know about Mr Capp, he would buy the first round if it were free!

hence the saying, Andy …. “opposites attract”

That was predictable.

Takes one to know one.

WHO picked out her window coverings?

The real life Three Stooges ;-)

:-o

GOODY!!

So they ARE exactly like Andy.

LOL!

And that’s why he can’t hang with people exactly like him, besides they are competition for cadged drinks.

I could see that coming.

They’re exactly like him, but they don’t exactly like him!

The other two are breaking the fourth wall while talking to THEIR wives…..

This implies he heads out to the bar with no money at all and expects people to buy him drinks. You’d think by now he would have used up all his good will.

Is the correct word – would or COULD?

If they’re exactly like Andy, they probably didn’t have any money and they couldn’t cadge drinks off other bar patrons (who probably headed out the door the minute Andy and his pals walked in)

Ginger’s exactly like Andy? Yet another reason to prefer Mary Ann.

Exactly like you in all ways!

“When he was out of work, my mother used to give him fourpence and tell him to go out and not come back until he’d drunk himself cheerful and loving-like. Theres lots of women has to make their husbands drunk to make them fit to live with.” — G. B. Shaw, Pygmalion
