Laugh Again with Andy Capp

Reg Smythe’s long-running British newspaper strip gets a second life in this 23-issue series from Mirror Books (1968–1980), collecting the misadventures of the perpetually unemployed, flat-capped layabout Andy Capp. Smythe, the strip’s sole creator and artist, chronicles Andy’s pub-crawling, wife-dodging antics with a deceptively simple line and a sharp eye for working-class humor. This series preserves the classic, gently cynical tone that made Andy Capp a staple of British comics for decades.
