Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 16, 2013

Help me… I’ve fallen and I can’t reach my beer !

The ole Capt. is turning it in early tonight. Can hardly keep my eye opened…. Night Cappers ! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Andy must have hollow bones and a king-size gall bladder to put away that much beer. No wonder he falls over – he must be getting top-heavy!

At a convention Masquerade once, I saw a skit based on the Life Alert commercials. One con-goer came onstage and pretended to fall, then did the “Help, I can’t get up.” As the announcer described the commercial about Con Alert, he popped the top on a can of beer. About 6-8 other Con Geeks ran up on stage, picked him up, then grabbed the beer and ran off stage all trying to drink from it at the same time.

1.875 gallons, typo.

Lightweight!

Not all pints are created equally, especially in jolly Ole England. US pints are 16 Oz, UK pints (for beer) are 20 Oz. At 300 Oz we have a winner.

I think Goldsmith and Garnett must be drinking 15 pints themselves, before they write this drivel. If the Master , Reg Smythe , could see what has become of his legacy, you know he’d be haunting the 3 clowns for the rest of their lives!

If the art is going to be THIS 2-D all the time, they could at least make it look like Egyptian hieroglyphics! (They might also want to stop using jokes from ancient Egypt, but that’s another whine entirely……….)

@ Number 6, PColli, Et Al…

Frolicking Friday Hugs ((((((( CAPPERS ! )))))))

Is the next case “The Crown versus Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett”?

We come here because of the camaraderie. Andy Capp and Smythe are just a catalyst. A large portion of our discussions have little or nothing to do with them, which seems to irritate certain people. Their complaints just strengthen our bond. They are a part of what we are.

Oh NO!!…lol…poor guy…just goes to show ya that justice can be a four (or six) letter word at times…

Andy, You’ve been an alcoholic for over 50 years. It would be very strange for you to develop an allergy for it NOW.

LOL xxx

A present for you know who

Good one. He reminds me a little, of a certain Norman Stanley Fletcher.

Wow!No troll to flag today.After fifty years of self induced alcohol poisoning, I’m surprised that Andy can talk.

@Number SixI loved The Jailbirds, looks like it would have great potential.BTW the Dummies book wasn’t meant for you ;-)

I’ve read this strip for years! I was born in Los Angeles, so I guess that makes me a real American, but I’ve always loved the cultural references. I know it has been “universalized” but the humor is still there! Just enjoy it for what it is, a funny take on a lazy, beer sodden, bloke.

He should have known better.

Why do you misspell “beviek”? Some sort of humor?

Only if you were referring to a real person. I didn’t elide because I was referring to Andy, not as a person but as a comic strip – At least that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it .

My average is 6 pints of budwiser on a weekly that’s the American pint.

@Number SixI like your “Jailbirds” comic. You seem to have a great range of different comic strip ideas and I’ve like all the ones I’ve seen so far. And hoping for more!

The answer to being falling-down drunk . . . is to drink sitting-down.

Used to be ten was just warmin-up:

Still, He has a limit, and Florrie knows-It: That’s if She’s there.otherwise the Canal comes-into play.

I think I have that same problem!
