    the description of this comic is entirely inaccurate. “Andy and his wife, Flo, live out the epitome of functional dysfunction. From the pub to the bedroom, Andy’s misadventures paint an indelible portrait of an extremely British battle of the sexes. Join Andy and Flo as they bicker their way through life. Their banter can be hostile, caring, sarcastic and adorable: the perfect ingredients for a lasting marriage”?

    No. This is not what Andy Capp is about. I have been reading this strip since the 1970s, and I have never seen ANYTHING about the Capp’s sex life (nor would I want to).

    Andy’s misadventures do not, in any way, shape or form, “paint an indelible portrait of an extremely British battle of the sexes.” It’s not “the Lockhorns” with a Cockney accent. The strip is about, and has always been about, a low-income, unemployed alcoholic who is often incarcerated, fighting in bars, and (until enough people complained) beating his wife.

    All of the above. Super. (I wonder if the Arbuckle ale is brewed by a British ancestor of a US cat’s owner.)

    It took me ages to understand the punchline and when I did. Well, I could have kicked myself. Or punched myself. Whatever works.

    Must be the only man in all of London who doesn’t know Andy’s a life-long mooch.
