Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for August 01, 2022

Paper trail

Oh, constable, you missed Capp by that much.

Andy re-discovers the power of the free press!

now that’s what i call : quick thinking

@Number Three Today’s strip IS funny our HERO mR Andrew Capp’ use for a newspaper is Classical I wanted touse It’s Your Birthad Mr beab because today iIS myBirthday born on 1941 st August 1941 in Massawa Eritrea, how was your day out Manic Monday should be a happy one with my wife and sons coming over over bearing gifts , cards etc our Manic Monday should be fun Keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady.

Less than a week on holiday, and already that useless bum in in trouble with the law!!

Lacking a keen sense of the smell of alcohol the Bobbie…wait a minute. Did you just come from the Chippy?

It’s going to be “a hard day’s night” for this cop!

“In the news today, notorious pub crawler Andy Cap gave the coppers the slip once again!”

I think those in charge of colour love that nasty shade of purple…

He knows where you live, Capp.

Lavender? Lilac? Mauve?

Not purple. Too light. Mauve.

I thought Andy wanted the paper for the post times in daily races but this makes sense also. We all know it wouldn’t be for ‘help wanted’ ads.

ka-accomplice

All the news that was printed to fit…Andy’s escape!

(apologies to the NY Times)

Andy doesn’t read unless its names of horses!

Atta Boy Andy!

“Darn?” Shouldn’t the British cop be saying “bullocks” or “blimey” or “zounds” or some such? … just kidding.

Andy is just so quick witted!

Andy doesn’t want to be picked up during the day because he doesn’t want to miss the pub opening and besides he only needs his cell at night for sleeping.

My bad it wasi944

my bad it was 1944

What’s Andy done now?

@Afficionado

Hey, Affie. Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday! I already knew that today is your birthday because 1st August is so easy to remember. How has your day been? I like the sound of gifts. Will you be having cake?

Today I bought a COVID testing kit because I am giving a pint of my lifesaving blood tomorrow and I want to make sure I’m clear of any possible COVID infection before I attend the session.

Here is a photo:

It was £1.95.

Wish me luck for tomorrow, pal. For a negative COVID result and for my actual blood donation.

Stay safe, stay well, stay cool and stay happy, pal. Many Happy Returns! I’m going to have a little nap because I’m a bit sleepy. Check in with you all later.

Good luck trying to do that with a smart phone.

Now Andy Capp is thinking like Bozo as a way to evade the cops.
