Andy Capp
Andy Capp is a British comic strip created by cartoonist Reg Smythe (1917–1998), seen in The Daily Mirror and The Sunday Mirror newspapers since 5 August 1957. Originally a single-panel cartoon, it was later expanded to four panels.
The strip is syndicated internationally by Creators Syndicate. The character is also licensed as the mascot for a line of snack foods (Andy Capp's fries) and a defunct chain of miniature golf courses in Brevard County, Florida. The character is also a popular mascot since the 1980s for the North Carolina Outerbanks convenience store chain Brew-Thru.
Characters and story
Andy is a working-class figure who never actually works, living in Hartlepool, a harbour town in northeast England. The title of the strip is a pun on the local pronunciation of "handicap"; and the surname "Capp" signifies how Andy's cap always covered his eyes along with, metaphorically, his vision in life.
Andy Capp (TV series)
Andy Capp is a British sitcom based on the cartoon Andy Capp. It starred James Bolam and ran for one series in 1988. It was written by Keith Waterhouse. Unusually, for a sitcom, there was no studio audience during the filming of Andy Capp. It was made for the ITV network by Thames Television.
Cast
Plot
The sitcom Andy Capp was based on the cartoon strip of the same name that had run since 1957 in The Daily Mirror. Andy Capp is a slothful man from the north of England, whose life consists of drinking, sleeping, watching TV, betting, going to the pub and occasionally playing football. His wife, Flo, is constantly annoyed by her lazy husband and frequently uses a rolling pin as a weapon.

Boo Boo
by: Wedding PresentWell yes, it's late; the waiter's stacking the chairs
But, never the less, just wait, I don't think he really cares
And if we leave now I'll be kicking myself all week because we get so few chances to talk just like this
And I would regret just saying: "See you," because this is something that I really miss
So I aim to detain you for as long as I dare
You just don't get it at all, do you? Boo Boo!
The reason I call is that I still love you
Your eyes are glistening as you fill my glass to the brim
And though I despise listening to you talk about him
Seeing you being with that man is much better than not seeing you at all
And you can't leave
Not when we've been having such a ball
You just don't understand, do you? Boo Boo!
That tonight was all planned because I still love you
You just don't get it at all, do you? Boo Boo!
