Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 17, 2013

Chalkie should have added: “And he’s relatively easy to carry home, when he’s dead drunk”

So, Chalkie, where is that £10 I.O.U. for Andy?

Let’s see if we can rephrase that. Andy is loyal and be counted on in the direst of circumstances. He has a firm grasp and love of finance, particularly credit.

Don’t think there’d be much left for anybody else.

thirty bob- 1 pound ten shillings. about $2.40 today but would have been about $4.50 in 1970. In the UK in 1970 30 bob would probrobly have bought about 20 loaves of bread

Andy finds the job exchange very useful…

And he keeps the bureaucrats on their toes…

Meanwhile, on the home front…

I need to lose 10 lbs. How may pounds is 30 bob? Maybe I should lose that.

@SandfanI loved the last one with Flo and Andy! (It kind of reminds me of the old joke: “Love your enemies, it will confuse the hell out of them.”) Andy’s little smirk is hilarious.

I think that this is from Reg’s pre-Andy strip around 1954 called “Laughter At Work”.

I hope @Number Six will know.

I wonder if Andy knows what conceited means.

See? He’s not at all conceited.

This is all that it said above the comic...“Reg Smythe worked as a post office telephone clerk before freelancing as a cartoonist for the Daily Mirror in 1954. Influenced by his mentor Leslie Harding (“Styx”) he produced a regular feature Laughter at Work before creating Andy Capp in 1957 This is some of his early work before creating Andy Capp in 1957.”

Andy also plays cricket.

We seem to be Number Six-less, today. Hope everything’s alright.

Can’t be too careful with your company, Andy! lol!

geez Chalkie gave him a good reference still wasn’t good enough to get Andy a job what’s the matter with those people??!!!!!!!!!!!!
