Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 02, 2020

maybe it belonged to Guitar Bob’s brother: Drummer Ron?

Think Andy’s going to be wearing it around his neck when Flo gets finished with him?

Somehow I just can’t see Andy as the Little Drummer Boy. The only thing he would drum for would be a drink of ale. And I really doubt that Andy has any rhythm.

@Number Three Today’s strip is slightly funny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp is still a kid at heart , playing with a toy drum he found in a dustbin , this reminds me that when Arthur was still living at home and bought a set of high quality pots and pans ,Connie started to bang two pot lids as pay back for the times he used two lids as cymbals when he was a kid :o) my avatar is a photo of our house in the middle of our street but now it’s falling apart because all of the plumbing and electricity was in metal piping and need to be changed but at least Alex is doing the work and changing the downstairs loo;o{how was your day? ours should be very busy as our Thursday usually are but we should cope I hope , take care and BCNU pal

By the size of the image and the relative size of the “BOOM” I think there’s a misfit. That drum is much closer to the size of a snare drum that a “big base drum.”

That last panel reminds me of the tenants now living in the apartment above me. Same sound, like they are wearing cinder blocks strapped to their shoes. Can’t wait to move out.

Lout. Oaf. Boor. Hooligan. Yahoo. Lummox. Yob. Churl. Dolt.

Andy is just demonstrating why it was chucked out.

I think Flo will be playing that drum about 3 inches away from Andy’s ear when she get up at 0600 to go to her job.

Belling the cat.

I think Andy is only a few seconds away from a very bad experience.

I guessing it will find it’s back to the trash, and not so nice condition.

When the oldest grandson was about 5 or 6, I wanted to get him a drum set for Christmas – provided he promised to practice outside Mommy & Daddy’s bedroom on Saturday mornings.

Needless to say, I was voted down on that idea. He was very disappointed but got even with them a few years later when he took up the trumpet!

BTW He became a pretty good trumpeter and played in a jazz band in high school. He’s almost 25 and still plays, though not professionally.

Sing it Andy! “I don’t want to work, I just want to bang on the drum all day”

Quite the Ringo Starr you are (not) Andy!

@Afficionado

This is a true story.

I recieve a lot of scam emails and one guy asked me for my home address and I replied with “My House, In the Middle Of The Street”

The guy responded back and said:

“I understand that your house is in the middle of the street but there has to be an address attached to it. PO Box will suffice. These information’s are needed for the paper work”

Turns out he didn’t have a very good sense of humour. Or is not familiar with “Madness”

I often do this to scammers to waste their time. Pretty mild considering they are trying to steal from me.

Finally Friday tomorrow, pal. Have a good one!

That drum won’t be almost as good as new when Flo gets her hands on it!

The drum of war…

i bet the neighbors just love hearing Andy and his solo performance of Boom, Boom, Boom, at 2am.
