Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for June 06, 2018

if only life were like that, Flo

NEWSFLASH FLO ANDY IS LIVING THE LIFE OF RILEY!!!

Andy already has not a care in the world….except where to get money for his drinks, playing the horses, going to the bookie, and money to go to football games. He certainly would like to win the lottery.

Andy’s lotto win would be spent in no time – shortly followed by Flo’s.

Andy’s the one sleeping, but it’s Flo who is dreaming…

I wonder how many of us still remember the TV show Life of Riley here in the US?

Boring to Andy, as he’s already won the lotto. A whole lotto nothing to do but drink and sleep.

Andy would have the experience for fending off all the moochers who’d try to glom onto his lottery winnings.

ANDY

ANDY, WAKE UP AND GO TO SLEEP DEADBEAT!!.

You are dreaming on your feet Flo.

Sorry Flo,

Lottery: A tax on people who are bad at math.

Ambrose Bierce

Flo is stupid & spineless.

Why live the Life of Riley when you can live the life of Andy?

I don’t play the lottery, I never have but I go to bingo once a week. I’m quite lucky at bingo.

Well, I WAS the only one to win the Full House out of a hall packed full of people.

That’s an achievement to me. Probably because I need to get a life. Haha.

Who is this Riley and why does he have it so good?

Andy is Riley! ;o}

Riley…. according to Wikipedia..:

The title may originate with James Whitcomb Riley’s poems in the 1880s depicting the comforts of a prosperous home life, or it could have its origin in the Irish Reilly clan. Having consolidated their hold on County Cavan they minted their own money which was accepted as legal tender even in England. These coins, called “O’Reillys” and “Reillys,” became synonymous with a monied person, and a gentleman freely spending was therefore “living on his Reillys.”

What Flo was describing was the life of Andy.
