Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 04, 2016

better hide all of Andy’s socks when he plans to play cards some night, Flo

Using your socks like that might get you several extra socks in your think box…..

A very appropriate strip for me. I’m watching Ocean’s 11, 12 and 13 for the first time. I’m sure Flo would approve. Cloony’s so dreamy…

Imagine if Norris was the same one from Coronation Street?

Know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em & know when to run!

Or Flo and Andy can play strip poker. Um…ok, I just lost my will to live.

Lucky he’s still breathing…

Well, if some of the barmaids played strip poker (WITHOUT Andy!) I might be interested……..or even GoPro for that matter!

To channel Number Six briefly: The first two panels are completely unnecessary (and the breaking of the 4th wall is just incompetent). The 4th panel is unnecessary (for those who know about Andy, which is to say, those reading this comic strip!) And the last panel would be better without Andy addressing the reader. This is one of my major beefs with the current Andy team: they always seem to need that little pat on the back from the readers. That’s why they break the 4th wall so needlessly and so often. Smythe did it sometimes, yes, for valid reasons. I hereby stop channeling Number Six (though I do wish that he would return, and Beviek, and others! Linguist is alive and well on other comic strips but I don’t know why he doesn’t pop in here now and again. He’s another one I miss.)

Or maybe elsewhere…

Why does anyone ever let Andy in the game at all? They should all know his reputation as a cheat.
