Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for December 20, 2024

he needs a round in basketball first!

Not a raining champion…

He could catch a cold.

One of the oldest golie jokes there is.

That’s my childhood; playing football and rugby in winter in atrocious weather.

What a whiny little wimp.

Catch the first round will make Andy a Happy Camper.

The goalie is too busy being miserable to pay attention to the game!

Oops is right!

Certainly can’t catch it if you spend time complaining, Chalkie. It’s raining on everybody.

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLLL!

It might be rain in Hartlepool, but if he were playing in Ireland or Scotland it would only be “a wee mist”!

Andy better watch it with the insults. Chalkie might not be in the mood to pay for the pints.

Andy is right this goalie couldn’t catch a cold…….

Well that punchline was telegraphed.

Why isn’t Andy playing defense? Blaming the goalkeeper is no defense…

In the NFC Championship game on January 20, 2008, The Green Bay Packers took on the New York Giants at Lambeau Field. At game time it was −1° F (−18° C) & windy. They reported the wind-chill factor was around -20° F.

We had the best seats in the house, our living room with a new big-screen TV & the fireplace going!

They’re going to make him the goalie for their dart team

Most goalies would not have blocked that one!

Reg Smythe would be shaking his head.

Can’t say I blame Chalkie for complaining. Playing sports in the rain doesn’t seem very pleasant.
