Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 13, 2024

It will probably finance a newer and bigger drum kit. The neighbour will not be praising anyone after that.

The Bible is clearly in favour of loud music, esp. cymbals (Psalms 150). And the Brits are the kingpins of loud drumming. I hope Andy buys the kit.

He’ll trade them for a set of bagpipes.

Dennis the Menace would pester his parents to buy that set. Just so he can torment Mr. Wilson all the more.

will trade for bagpipes

‘Praise the Lord folks’ should see if their neighbors are stupid enough to sell to them…

Buy them Andy and form a band with Guitar Bob!

Huh?

Makes a great gift for nieces and nephews!

We have Chinese restaurants here which sell chicken drumsticks, and the dish is called “Drums of Heaven”…

He’ll spend all the money on beer before he even gets to see the drums.

I assume the neighbors were happy to hear that it was gone.

Isnt that the same corner where the bar is?

Praise the LORD and pass the tambourino!

Pete Best’s old flat.

That one made me choke on my coffee!

I have to say, I’m not sure how I’d be if my neighbour were a drummer. Even if they’re good, it gets wearing after a while

I bought drums and guitars for my grandkids. I owed that to my kids. Many Sleepless nights.

Good for the neighbor who tolerated the first one’s constant practices!!

Q: What does one call a person who likes to hang out with musicians but has no musical talent?

A: A drummer.

Is this the result of divine intervention?

The tenant on the right is the tenth one this month.

Very old joke — I’ve seen variations on this going back over a century (usually with pianos).

Don’t let Andy anywhere near a drum set to make money not to play

He could use it to drown out Guitar Bob.

At least it’s not bagpipes. (Then no one would buy them.)

Does that remind anyone else of a Benny Hill gag?

I guess the kid was no Buddy Rich.
