Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 21, 2025

Nowadays, fuses have been replaced by circuit breakers. Hartlepool must be WAY behind the times!

“Trust me,” he said….. MOWAHAHAHAHAHA

Looks like Andy had a current event…shocking!

Hold my beer.

And when she calls you by your full name…

“DON’T ANYBODY MOVE! A fuse is out!”

Must be getting one of them dark brews

When you have to replace a fuse: re-fuse….

I refuse to do it…

“Good beer money?” Is there such a thing as bad beer money?

Dang ! I wanted to see Andy burnt to a crisp, like Flos’ cooking !!

In the original strips, it was Flo who fixed fuses, tap washers …etc…

He got called Andrew. Is this the portent of a sound thrashing about the neck and shoulders from the lady of the house?

At least they didn’t mention the tube and knob wiring.

Why should she trust you?

Don’t anybody move! Hold it right there! The fuse is out.

The old man could replace fuses quicker than a jackrabbit on a date.

Now, what did you do, Andy? Other than blow the power for the whole house and possibly the neighbourhood.

Oldie But Goodie.

Sadly, Andy found the fuse box.

Does Andrew have life insurance?

A splendid plan from Capp. While in the dark Andrew quietly makes a withdrawal from Flo’s purse, fixes the fuse box, and it is off to the Rose and Crown. A fine night for Capp!! The game is afoote.

He meant “I’ll short it out”.

He was able to identify the problem.

We could see that punchline in total darkness!

Now you have no choice but to spent good beer money on a Electrician.

Tims are really a-changing!!

CLASSIC ANDY CAPP Dept.

Flo brings home some paperwork and says, “You’ve been goin’ on about us makin’ a will out, pet – so l bought a couple of forms!”

Andy (lying on the sofa) then examines his will and writes out loud, “To my dear wife l leave my entire worldy goods.”

Flo’s sitting at the kitchen table and says, “l can’t even ride a bike!”

(°C(|#,

Out with a bang! The best way to go. Probably the most action packed thing our Andy has ever done. Ha.

Andrew “Andy” Capp, 1957-2025, dead of incompetence.

Is this the end? Did Andy finally drink himself to death?

You said you’d sort it out, Andy…, not short it out!

The ONE time Andy actually got off his lazy rear and does something, he screws it up. Do it yourself isn’t always a good idea.

Trust him indeed. Trust Capp to make a dog’s dinner of it.
