Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 22, 2011

Eww, pickled onions! Not my cup of tea.

As Brisco Darling once said, “They twang my buds!”

Why’s Flo so unhappy, at least Andy is putting his hand in his pocket for once!

Give Andy a little credit here. The cost of those onions could have been a bet in the second at Aintree tomorrow.

Flo why so happy before you’re the one who has to pay.

SUSAN’s not feeling good…Too many cocktails with Andy for their birthdays.

That’s our Andy, last of the bigtime spenders!

Gimme a vodka martini with a pickled onion rather than an olive anytime. GOOD!

Awwwww. That’s a nasty trick.. Why should Flo pay for everything?

Just because she works she doesn’t have to pay for EVERYTHING.

It’s really unfair.

Where in America can you walk in and order two pickled onions? Is it possible that a pickled onion means something different to the Brits than to us Yanks? (Sometimes Brit cartoons need to be translated into American.)

This will dispel the notion that Andy doesn’t contribute anything.

American and British are not the same language; they are similar. For example, ask a person from each country to look in the boot. The result is quite different.A person from the USA wears a boot on each foot. To the one from the UK, the boot is the storage compartment on the back of most cars. Giving someone a lift might mean getting a ride in a car in the US; a lift in the UK is an elevator in the US.

I’m sure you are a nice and well-intentioned person, but…DUH!

So if you order a pickled onion in England, will you get anything an American has ever seen before? Remember, they are the land of Spotted Dick and other strange foods.

@Apostle4God – Andy has worked several days in his life, although admittedly he normally gets fired on the second day. He also served in the army. Besides, he’s still holding out for that beer taster’s job at the brewery.
