Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for April 03, 2023

Guess Flo figured his horse must’ve come in.

what was he going to do Flo, wash dishes or just dine and dash?

Cheap burger emporiums emit the best aromas.

Then there is the garlic bouquet of Hanover street in the North End.

Flo should know that when Andy says “I’ll treat you”

Means he’ll treat you with your money!

the result of having too-high hopes against a harsh reality.

Poor Flo, fell for it all………. hook, line AND sinker.

That deserved more than just a side eye Jack.

Smelling it a second time but still not tasting: more like torture.

I didn’t think she’d sniff at that offer.

She should have known what he meant with his cheap %$$#@!

There’s window-shopping. Could you call this nose-shopping, or an aroma walk?

She should have known something was up, as Andy rarely, if ever, ‘treats’. But hope springs eternal, as they say. And I’ll admit this one was very good, in my humble opinion….

Ingrate.

Andy, that was cruel!

I’ve passed by a bakery and enjoyed the smell without buying anything. It was not torture even if I walked past again. This is no different.

Andy’s ideas of a treat are skewed!

She should know well enough that he doesn’t have any money.

Take a sniff, Andy. It’s the smell of ale.

Flo will NEVER learn!

This is an old Scottish joke.

Did Flo actually think that Andy would pay for a meal? This is Andy we’re talking about, after all.

Ah, women. They can never decide on what they want.

good try, Andy

How can he even think of treating when he has no money?

Since Flo is the only source of income in the household Andy’s treat is no treat at all for her.

SOS

Well, if he bought her a meal, it’d be with her money anyway…
