Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 28, 2025

ah …where’s the spirit, Jack!

Tom’s timing is perfect.

Look what the haboob blew in.

Some people light up the room when they enter. Others darken the door.

When I used to go to a bar, I NEVER had just the one…those were the days

just missed a cadge.

Quick, wash the glass before Andy hits the bar

You’ll have the same evening as always, Jack. He’s your best (?) customer!

Where can I get a suit like that? ;-)

If l walked into a bar that was as quiet as this, l’d only have a quick one as well.

Then l’d find another bar!

Jack, Jack. Don’t you reserve the right to refuse service to ANYONE ? Or ijn Andy’s case, anyTHING ??

Relentless, isn’t he, Jack. Have a few yourself. Quickly.

I think they missed a joke, Tom returning with his buddy, Andy. Tom thought it was a quick one.

try Andy on a “milk punch”. For some reason,this atrocity is popular in New Orleans

Would think that Andy would drink communally. He has to cadge pints from someone, after all.

Jack should show a bit more respect. Andy could follow on his threat and take his business to the Spotted Duck. Andy might be a cadger, but at least someone is buying Jack’s beer.

I’ve only been to a few pubs in the UK, they all had barstools. Was the lack of stools unique to Hartlepool?

Andy comes strutting in like he is going to pay for a drink……..not!

You jinxed yourself Jack, but he probably won’t be there long, there’s noone to cadge from.

The price you pay for working with the public.

In one classic Andy Capp strip, Jack throws Andy out at closing time and locks all the doors, only for Andy to come down the chimney.

And then trouble waltzes in the door.

Have a wonderful night, kick the bum out.
