I totally agree about Andy Capp. The only interesting thing I ever heard about Andy Capp was from Jean Shepherd.

He said the Andy Capp title was a cockney accent pun for Handicap. Apparently Andy was a cockney horse race fanatic. That tidbit did make the strip any funnier to me.

He was from Hartlepool, not London, so not a cockney

I’m sure you’re right. I know as much about Andy Capp as I do about Cockney.
