Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for September 08, 2012

Andy served His/Her Majesty? (Give the coat a trip to the washing machine or laundromat first, though.)

Andy was a fusilier – I always said he served with McAlpine’s Fusiliers. I’ll bet that coat has a real ‘pong’ about it !

celebrating our victory over the Ottoman empire (no couch jokes) ><><><><><><><><><><><><>>Ah, you spoiled my pun… er… fun. Okay, Tony, just put your feet up and have a relaxing holiday.

Good Night Cappers. I’m off to La La Land. I know, I know… a lot of you think I’m perpetually there !

umm… you can wash it first right before goin to the pub right?

Did he get the coat from Old Navy?

Andy was a sergeant in the Northumberland Fusiliers and served in North Africa during WWII. Strangely, this is exactly the same as the great cartoonist Reg Smythe.

Gosh. Surprising the army did not make him a responsible person. Usually does.

Even though it smells bad… It’s still a treasure to Andy.

I remember when Flo nagged at him to dispose of it.

When trying to post a image, what is the “ADDY” ?

I take it Andy was doing his National Service. I bet he was with the British Army on the Rhine personally protecting every Lager Haus and Ratskeller near the base.

Also he knew the first name of every ‘Red Hat’.

He suited that coat back then… Plus I never knew Chalkie was a bachelor? I thought he was married to Rube all through the Andy Capp era…

Thank you.

Left hook seems to be Andy’s favorite bop.

Thank you, Eldo.

Well I hope I do… I am a Brit after all.

Sin-Sational Saturday Hugs ((((((( Cappers! )))))))

I know I don’t comment often on this comic I just enjoy seeing how people chat with each other over many miles apart but I feel I must answer a couple things.. Eldo I believe that Percy the rent man’s surname was Ritson I found a old book where Andy introduces him for a brandy whilst distracting him from paying that weeks rent.. But I’m kinda new to this so hope you don’t mind my imput

@wuzyou must be French…and jealous….

In early strips – I mean, like 30 years ago – Andy said he served with the British Army in North Africa. That would make him about 90 today. Maybe all that beer serves as a preservative…

The whole thing would be different if WW2 had been fought on US soil.
