Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 14, 2025

Straight down to the meat of it

he definitely is a deal-maker … but people just don’t have his vision about money shrug

that is an expensive meat pie!

Take it, Mister—it sure beats Flo’s cooking! BTW, don’t pubs and taverns open at 4:00 PM? I never heard of any with a lunch crowd.

£100 pie? As they say “Promises are like pie crusts. Easily broken.”

Some chain pubs open at 9am and do breakfast. You can’t get a drink until 10am. But if you live in a ‘Market’ town (that’s one that’s had a working Market and a pub linked to it for a couple of hundred years) you can get a drink at 6.30am! There’s still a few of them about. They’ve got a special licence.

While we are at it [Loans] Lad, buy us both a round to wash it all down.

He should think himself lucky there’s no mustard on it.

He’d then owe Andy!

And buy Andy a pint. His glass is empty.

Sounds like a good deal.. for Andy.

It doesn’t work that way, Andy.

Not gonna happen, Capp.

Capp is in a fine mood today. Offering a piece of pie for peace. His kindness should not go unrewarded. He has an empty pint,pay up Loan Guy!!

Never thought there would be someone that foolish to loan him a larger amount.

Green not purple? And why not bring back Percy instead of generic loan guy?

Kidney pie is not served in America—-is that good or bad?

Andy’s grasp of economics is convenient.

USA, opens 7 am and closes 1 am in most states – open 18 hours. Some vary.

If I was looking for Andy a pub is the first place I’d look.

Andy’s mind is always on the ball……

How considerate of Andy, I think.

“Waiter, I want to complain to the chef! There’s not enough shepherd in my shepherd’s pie!”

Time for the Taser…

Mash the rest of that pie on Andy’s head.

Those meat pies in the UK… so gross. Never understood how folks in the UK could tolerate the lameness of so much of their cooking. Heck, there was a local pizza parlor near where I lived, in Chelsea London, and after the first pizza I schmoozed the manager in to allowing me to make my own pizza’s with their stuff and ovens and when they tried my pizza I ended up trading them my knowledge of how to make pizzas (I had worked in a couple pizza places, for years, as I put myself through college) for free pizza a couple evenings a week. Soon they were making “American style pizzas” both round and deep dish round and their business went from being unbusy to having a line out the door on some of the days I stopped in to make a pie. 3 years later I was back in London with my rugby team and they were still selling “American style pizzas” and the owner still knew who I was. By that point he had managed to open a 2nd location a couple of tube stops away and was hoping to open a 3rd soon. Between that and teaching a school there how to properly play American football, I was quite proud of my time living and working in Britain.

The Repo Crew is waiting, poorFlo.

At least Andy didn’t smash it in his face. (That would have been funny, though.)

Leave it to Andy

Trust Andy to bet on the nag (Jockey Pie) to get him out of debt ;-\
