Andy Capp
Una galga y la estatua de Andy Capp, en Liverpool.
Creators Syndicate la distribuye internacionalmente. Su protagonista ha sido comercializado como mascota de una línea de aperitivos (Andy Capp's fries) y una difunta cadena de cursos de minigolf en Brevard County, Florida.
La tira se desarrolla en un pueblo indeterminado del norte de Inglaterra, siendo un retrato afectuoso de las costumbres de aquella región británica donde nació su creador Reg Smythe.
