Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Andy Capp |
 | | Andy Capp is lazy, belligerent, unskilled at any socially acceptable occupation, and usually drunk. |
| | Early on, the Andy Capp strip was accused of perpetuating stereotypes about Britain's Northerners, who are seen in other parts of England as chronically unemployed, dividing their time between the living room couch and the neighborhood pub, with a few hours set aside for fistfights at soccer games. |
| | Andy has also been the star of a minor TV series — its six episodes featured James Bolam in the title role and Paula Tilbrook as Flo, and were aired by BBC in 1988. |
