Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 12, 2024

And a skilled fiddler he is.

let’s see what would happen if Ethel discovers this shrug

I see that Ernie is the “boss” in his house AND Ethel gave him permission to …. say so!!!

;-)

…and then Ernie drinks both pints—or pours one over Capp’s head!

Only bought the first park of the evening

Could I have a pickled egg with that?

That man is stupid

The I.Q. of guys in purple suits keeps dropping every day.

Just curious: is a British “pint of ale”, like 16 ounces of beer? Never drank beer, so I just wondered. Thanks in advance!

Andy, you’re terrible, and Ernie, you’re really stupid!

Fiddle-dee-dee!

Ernie, it is obvious you are easily manipulated.

I wonder if your Flo still bossing you never to buy your pint, Andy?

And Ernie’s wife will play him like a cello when she finds out……

Taking advantage of that male ego.

I would say Andy played him like a Cheap fiddle, but the man did buy a pint for Andy.On a side note. Is that English pint based on the Imperial system? I always figured liquid measures were cup – 8 oz, pint – 2 cups, quart – 2 pints, and a gallon – 4 quarts and that those were the English Imperial and the US measures.

Well played, Andy. Very sneaky.

Does Ernie remind you of somebody on this side of the pond?

It looks like the entire GoComics staff has fallen into the canal. There are no updates on any of my strips for 13 September. :-(
