Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for July 04, 2020

what what, pray tell, were you doing in the canal, Mr. Capp?

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny , but a repeat , our HERO Mr Andrew Capp trying to wriggle out of his case by stating that he was sober as a Judge at the time of his arrest was ruined by Andy stating that he was in the canal at the time of his arrest , which reminds me when a got a ticket while driving our old Ford Cortina MKIII estate converted to a diesel engine and leaving a huge cloud of black smoke , a traffic cop rightfully gave me a ticket which I delayed to pay for two years , when finally I went to court , the judge told me that the case was prescribed , when I asked him what that meant he told me to get out of his sight as I had dodged the bullet :o) , my avatar today is of a human diver swimming near a great white shark and stating that the human was the most dangerous of the two, human sharks like lawyers do it for profit not hunger, how was your day? ours should be very busy but we should cope I hope with our hallway all cluttered up :o{ take care and BCNU pal

The cold water does wonders.

Why the little spikes on Andy’s podium? Is this something that is just in British courts? Or is this just artistic license for the strip?

Judge;What Again, £20 fine ,get outta my Court room!

Cite him for polluting the canal.

That’s where all judges end up, isn’t it… your honor?

Andy certainly puts the ‘anal’ in ‘canal’!

“The canal swim is just me daily routine fer stayin fit..ya see! ;o}

“‘Sober as a judge,’ eh? Well, Mr. Capp, I am a judge, and I… um, you know what? Case dismissed!”

well, he didn’t say he was sober, he said sober as a judge

I think that Andy is up the creek without a paddle.

“Mission lister, I’m not as think as you drunk I am. I’ve only had tee martwonis and a scottle of botch … and levertheness, I’ve got all day sober to Monday up on!”

Haven’t seen, or heard, this one for years. Thank you for the memory..

Sober as a judge? More like drunk as a skunk!
