Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 11, 2022

don’t want the debtor to take your hard-betted cash, do you, Andy?

What makes Andy think the debt collector is headed for him and not for the bookies? Or is he just playing it safe?

Love the Gloom Cloud! The dept collector should just post up outside the bookie!

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny our HERO Mr Andrew Capp’s joy at winning does not take long to turn to gloom , my avatar again is my birth sign Leo roaring because he in a good mood like I am, how was your day ? ours should be slightly busy , no shopping or errands to run , we both are in a good mood but we are staying inside the house and keep hydrated ,till this evening when the greengrocer van comes up our street

He saw you, Andy. And you know it….

The Andy of olde would have scarpered immediately!!

This must be made for the American market. For I don’t think that Andy would be taking his winnings in U.S. greenbacks. And U.K. banknotes are multicolored.

If he could lower that hat to hide his nose, then nobody knows it’s the dapper old souse with but one suit of clothes. (free verse?)

Andy always configures what he deems a proper balance of shady and shifty.

Easy come, easy go.

Tax collectors do not come in unless you win more than 600-1 payout. Andy is not that smart or lucky..

UK money isn’t green like that, is it?

The debt collector only has one leg and something hanging out of his briefcase.

Nice strategy, Mr. Bill Collector.

What are the odds?

One of Andy’s rare winnings. Guess the odds finally caught up with him.

Make sure you pay back Flo for all that you swiped from her purse!

Easy come easy go, Andy.

I can feel Andy’s pain. Not that I’ve ever been in debt though. It’s just the case of the money no longer being yours.

Hey, Affie.

I didn’t go out anywhere today, I just sat in the back garden for a bit. In fact I took a photo. I’ll insert the link under this comment as it not on Flickr yet.

Tomorrow I’m meeting up with some of my family in a cafe. Should be fun.

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

The better class of betting shops have a back entrance for just such occasions.

That’s the Purple People Eater:)

Andy just can’t win, can he? Easy come, easy go.

To Eli, Susan, RJM, and others: It’s always after Shabbat starts when I read the comics, so I have to past now for you to see this. May it be a restful and peaceful Shabbat for everyone.
