Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for February 23, 2018

No wonder why the comic looked grey and uncoloured. (Watch out for the crosswalk, Andy, as well as the canal.)

And here I thought Andy could sniff out a pint at a 100 meters.

Reminds me of a rather long scene in Mission Impossible where there was a car chase in a sandstorm; when the storm cleared, the action was over…

It reminds me of a comic where Andy comes walking into the pub with everyone following him cos he’s the only one who can find it in all the fog.

Great. Now we have a wide awake drunk. (JS)

Isn’t he used to wandering around in a fog?

The beerochino was too expensive.

Sounds justlikeyou Andy!!!

Call it nostalgia, if you will, but no matter how thick the fog, and indeed blindfolded, I could tell the difference between Bewley’s and Neary’s, in Dublin, at one whiff !

Okay, this one is funny!

Agreed – 10+/10

I lived in Sacramento Ca in the 1970s so can see getting lost in the fog. Went out to go to work one day and got lost between the stairs to my Apartment and my carport, which was about 20 feet. On my way back home after Thanksgiving dinner at GF Apartment Went up an on ramp to the freeway right into fog so thick I could not see the front of my car. Had to open my door and look down at the road reflectors. Had to keep stopping the car and getting out to read the road signs. Finally found my off ramp and was able to finally find my apartment. Usual drive time was about 20 min, that day took about 2 hours

A true football fanatic.

Many years ago, when I-10 between Houston and San Antonio was under construction there were many detours along highway 90. One very foggy night as I was driving to San Antonio, I had to take one of these detours. Apparently I missed a sign and ending up running out of road completely. I had to turn around and try to head back to the main road. That was when I discovered that at least ten cars had followed me into this open field! (Following the leader is not always the best policy).

I found this strip rather amusing but to each their own. Andy’s head is a fog most of the time.

There’s a bar and grill near me that bills itself as a “wine dive.” Never been in it, because, let’s face it, a “dive” demands BEER, not wine!

@FAN O’ LIO.

Your true life annecdote could play out in a hilarious comedy!

I remember a strip in one of my Andy Capp books where it’s foggy and Andy wanders into a Milk Bar (did those actually exist?) by mistake. When he realizes this, he exclaims “Boy, was I lost!”
