Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 01, 2024

ummm …. officer…what were you hoping he’d call in the first place??? his wife? o_O

The officer is only upset because Andy didn’t place the officer’s wager as well.

The bail bondsman now has an unlisted number.

The bookies would bail him out to avoid a huge potential loss of income.

Just need to have door dash bring me an ale.

One possible method of totrure they could use to “reform” Andy would be to play Guitar Bob’s greatest hits on loop while he’s incarcerated… :D

His chin strap needs adjusting.

Or the Rose and Crown to ask Jack if he has Prince Albert in a tin.

Andy Capp is Steve Jessup’s hero. “I know my rights”

Calling BR – 549. Gloom, despair, and agony on me - If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all - Gloom, despair, and agony on me. Hee Haw.

So, what do you want on your pizza?

“How did my horse do in the third race?”.

Since it’s by the cell, is it a cell phone?

Andy has a hot tip….not a need for a lawyer!

You call them a bookie, Andy calls them bail bondsman.

A classic: Flo is fretting because it’s very late and Andy isn’t home yet: “He’s either in clink or hospital, I just know he is!” Then she reconsiders: “Wait, at least you’ll know where he IS!”

By the way, thanks to the “Hee Haw” talk, I’m going to have TWO ear worms for the rest of the day…..

In that case, I guess I don’t need to make a phone call.

I recently read a page in my current trivia book that listed different countries’ laws on drinking. It said that England has thousands of pubs and probably millions of “regulars”, but if you’re caught drunk inside a pub, you can be arrested. True?

The only telephone I recall in Scottish stations was on the Sergeants desk.

Fair enough. An international call it is then!

@Everyone

Sorry for not commenting very much lately. I’ve been busy with real life and there have been times where I’ve forgotton to comment. It’s nothing personal. I’ve been forgetting to comment over at Creators too!

Also while I’m here. Today would have been our dear Affie’s birthday so let’s all raise a glass of whatever you are drinking to him. We love you, Affie. Rest in Eternal Peace.

I have raised my glass and am now going to look for the greengrocer van. I wish he were here to tell me if this was a variation on a theme.

You can call whom you like. It’s still a free country, even when you are in jail.

That definitely sounds like something Andy would do. Either that or order beer over the phone and charge it to the police station.

Capp’s prioritization skills reach a new high.
