Andy Capp

Reg Smythe’s Andy Capp, originally a British newspaper strip, found a brief Norwegian life in this four-issue series from Romanforlaget (1970–1973). Collecting the daily misadventures of the titular, workshy layabout and his long-suffering wife Flo, the comics capture a particular, working-class Northern English humor. Smythe, who both wrote and drew every installment, defined the character’s distinctive, sharply observed world. This short run stands as a regional curiosity, bringing a beloved international strip to a Scandinavian audience.
