A number of posters have taken me to task for being “negative” about this strip. On the whole, I like the strip; I like Flo, Ruby, Chalkie, Alan—even the stuck-up Vicar! I just detest the title character!
I lived in NYC during the Koch/Dinkins administrations, and I’ve encountered many “Andy Capps” on the streets and in the parks—drunken, drug-addled bums living on the taxpayers’ dole and hassling (or mugging) passers-by! And as much as I was (and still am) a loyal Democrat, I appreciated Rudy Giuliani’s cleaning up of the city. In fact, I thought Rudy was an OK guy—until he latched onto Trump!
But, I digress, here. The point is, this character is a useless, drunken bum whom I DON’T find amusing!
