The original Andy Capp was a social observation of a stereotypical average, working class, basically educated married couple in the North of England. Now, whilst people are better educated (in general) and not so badly off there are still people like this around.
People still smoke, drink to excess and occasionally beat each other up (yes, women beat men up too). This is the humour in the strips. We can laugh at ourselves can’t we?
Americans laugh at hillbillies, red necks, and many more stereotypes.____________________________________________

Reg Smythe ceased to be author long ago (he died in 1998).
