Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for January 06, 2022

Looks like something Jon Arbuckle of this side of the pond (U.S.) would wear.

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp, sober is taking the mickey with Murray and his dress sense :o) my avatar is a spoof of the% that Lego bricks get , the largest one is stepping on one barefoot , like I did when my boys were young and I had to go to the bathroom :o{, how was your day? our Thursday should be busy but we should cope I hope we both are in a good mood , no shopping to do or errands to run just stay in the house keep hydrated and wait till this evening when the greengrocer van comes up our street, keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

The date is blind, so it wouldn’t matter.

Looks like a Clipper Craft suit! Don’t worry Murray, the only taste Andy has is for liquor!

Mmm .. but I wouldn’t even let a prisoner wear that stuff!

It’s the twelfth day of Christmas. And thus the last day of Christmas. In the West it is Epiphany. And in the Orthodox world, it is Theophany of Our Lord.

Our Andy is all about subtlety and gentle ribbing…as always! ;)

And of course our Andy’s dressed in ’haute couture…

If his date is blind, how will she know what he is wearing?

Well, as long as his date is blind, it probably doesn’t matter…

I see this leading to another brawl.

For us across the pond: Crikey is often used to show astonishment and surprise, similar to the way the word ’Christ! ’ is used.

Not to worry, she’ll likely be dressed in the fashion of the day; intentionally torn jeans, bra outside her blouse (if she’s wearing a blouse), sandals with net stockings, etc.

One need to be blind to be seen as a date with that zoot suit Murray. Or blind drunk and desperate.

I think the plaidisaurus is an extinct species.

another purple suit, yay!

Give Andy some credit for a sharp reply.

I think I have to go along with Andy on this one.

But leave you wallet here, I keep it safe til you return.

Plaid and an orange bow tie are good examples for rejection!

Don’t worry Murray a handsome stud like you doesn’t need to worry about how he’s dressed.

If this were the early 1960s, I’d say Murray got that get-up at Robert Hall. ROBERT threw it out & Murray decided to HAUL it away!

Hey Murray, the Joker called. He said he wants his suit back.

I think some people on here are unaware of what a Blind Date actually is…

Hey, Affie!

You should have put your Rowan Atkinson avatar on today because it’s his birthday. He is 67 years old.

I wouldn’t have minded Lego as a kid but I never had it and didn’t think to ask for it either. I was under the impression it was for boys.

I am meeting with my friend from school tomorrow so it should be a great day.

Stay safe, stay well, stay warm and stay happy, pal.

I’ve been away from Andy Capp for a few years now. I’ve looked back over the comics. Did he give up smoking?

Pray that she’s either color blind or blind period.
