Andy Capp es una tira de prensa británica creada por el historietista Reg Smythe​ para los periódicos The Daily Mirror y The Sunday Mirror en 1957. Su formato original era de una sola viñeta, pero posteriormente se expandió hasta cuatro. La tira es ahora dibujada por Roger Mahoney, quien reemplazó a Smythe tras su fallecimiento en 1998.

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.

Argumento y personajes

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.
