Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 10, 2020

quick, Alan, take Andy to the station (whether the chief likes it or not)

Could Andy be part hound-dog? He can smell an open pub a mile a way with that big red nose of his?

@Cappers I will not comment today because today in Malta it is Good Friday , the commemoration of when they cruxified our lord Jesus Christ , BCNU tomorrow

The pubs would be closed in the present circumstances.

Andy is a pub-lic nuisance!

Have to finish what we’ve started.

Andy would have said “Damn it’s closed due to conoravirus!” Anyway the police would arrest him or fine him if he’s out during lockdown.

If you eliminate plots about booze, mooching, and football, Reg Smythe would be out of business.

You’d think Alan would have known this!

“Been on the ale, have we?” Gad, how many world “leaders” would I love to direct that question to

Next bartender could be in trouble if he serves him.

Kinda messed up on the approach there Andy.

Andy’s doctor needs to tell him he can’t live without his liver.

I was surprised, I didn’t see the puchline coming..good one!

And I thought Norm was bad.

You can criticise Andy if you like, but you have to admire his determination and dogged perseverance to the task at hand.

Andy has at least 4 homes.

1) His actual home in Durham Street, Hartlepool

2) Pub

3) Canal

4) Prison cell

@Afficionado

A very Happy Easter to you and the rest of the Grech clan.

See you tomorrow, pal.

This is a bracelet I used to wear when I was at school. So we’re going back a long time ago when I wore it on a regular basis.

It’s pretty iconic and if you open this link, you will see why:

@Eldo

I thought maybe you’d post the classic where Flo is getting ready to brain Andy with the dreaded rolling pin, but sees that he is crawling, so of course proceeds to get down to his level!

This crawling sequence reminds me of the old joke:

“Last night I had a fight with my wife, but she eventually came crawling to me on her hands and knees.”

“What did she say?”

“‘Come out from under that bed, you coward!’”

As they say in Key West, as long as you can crawl The Crawl, you’re still in the game.

**The Crawl is the infamous Duval Crawl!

A little “hair of the dog”, eh, Andy?

Third day of unlearned bread here. Acts 20:6.

Now I know why they call it a pub “crawl”.

Andy is the one who started pub-crawls.
