Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 18, 2025

And when Flo and Chalkie refuse to pay it, a BIG sentence in the cells!

how merciful your honor … uh .. honour o_O

That’s not Judge Caprio, Andy!

That’s fine by me.

CLASSIC ANDY CAPP Dept.

An early ‘un PC’ cartoon depicts Andy talking to a guy outside his house. His front window’s smashed and there’s an iron lying on the pavement surrounded by broken glass.

Andy’s saying, “Flo did it – she ducked!”

(°C(|#,

That’s just fine…

Andy having another fine day…

Andy seems to be fine with it…

Is Chalkie gonna pay it, too?

“But Milord, I am a poor man. Why do you think I cage drinks?”

FLO?!!…

Here’s a much harsher, scarier warning. Flo cooked (incinerated) fish head pie, and she just rang the dinner bell. Fish head pie and chips…..another UK favorite !!

Well then, will the judge loan Andy the money to pay it? Seems fair enough to The Count.

Way to go, judge!

Hey Andy, maybe maybe you should see if Rumpole is available to take your case.

(O,O)

Which Flo will have to pay.

I suppose that Andy is a compulsive shirker of fines too.

This one made me laugh

Reminds me of a guy I knew who asked the judge if he could pay his fine by cheque. He’d been charged with writing bad cheques.

“Ok, Your Honor… Where do I scrounge the fine?”

Good luck getting Andy to pay the big fine

Probably shouldn’t have addressed him as old guy in a wig.

A believe it or not story. in my more adventurous times I was up in front of a JP pleading my case. Unfortunately she had a copy of my record an ambitious crown have pulled so there was no dickering as a first offense. She said 14 days, which is really not a long time but i had previous plans. I responded under my breath, “What kind of sentence is that for a hard working tax paying man like me? I pay your wages”. She got miffed and added another 7 days, so I shut up. In Ontario at that time you did not get the automatic 1/2 off if the sentence was 14 days or under. I went from 14 days to 10 and as my release day was a weekend I was out on the Friday before. if you are going to do the crime learn how the time is applied. I woulda thought Andy would know that better.

He can’t pay a fine, his hardworking wife would have to pay it. Send him to jail for 50 years or so, that would not only help his wife, that would help the city, the country, the world!

Do British courts STILL wear wigs in 2025?

Andy’s gotten himself into a fine mess.

Andy got his wish…….

Andy you should be used bto being fined

No worries, I’ll just add you to the list of bad debts-gotta be getting pretty long by now.
