Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for November 30, 2024

it’s in the doc’s great interest to keep the pain there, or else Andy is coming back later with a really bad mood …. o_O

My doctor says I’m in good shape for a man of my age. I thought that was a good thing until I heard someone say the same thing about King Tut.

Doc, you KNOW it’s from lifting a heavy pint of ale!

If Capp was ever hospitalized, would he insist on beer in his IV??

Doc knows him so well.

There is an excellent pain reliever from Scotland called Uisge Beatha, (translates as Water of Life). If Andy wants something local for what ales him. He can have some stout “medicinal” drinks, that should leave him less bitter. But he should hop to quickly do something. Yeast he gets so lager-ly he barley remembers what it takes to ferment some fun.

I’m enjoying a Uisge Beatha at the moment as I read these cartoons.

His back is suffering from ‘lack of use’.

Obviously a new doc that Andy’s never used before.

Now that’s funny. Haven’t actually laughed at an Andy Capp entry in a while.

Andy doesn’t do sarcasm and irony is what he thinks Flo does with his shirts.

I got off the sofa by myself, thank you very much.

Just prescribe him some topical ointment and an aspirin.

Karma you bum

We’re certain he didn’t throw out his back lifting anything heavier than a pint of ale. I’m sure the Doc’s doing all he can to cheer him up.

Fúnny!

Yep, you could end up on the deck, Doc!

Doc has eliminated a few of the wrong answers.

Does anyone here prefer the original strips by Reg Smythe?

Does Aarken still comment here?

Mood doesn’t matter here; he’s going to get it anyway!

He don’t know Andy very well, do he?

but we are

Or did lifting all those pints strain your muscle?

If only, Doc… If only…

Laugh therapy. At least it makes us smile.

he does have one strenuous activity—-the rugby games.It MIGHT be legitimate
