Andy Capp Sounds Off #1-3805-4

A perfect pocket-sized dose of Reg Smythe's beloved British working-class humor, this 1979 Fawcett Gold Medal collection finds Andy Capp — flat cap firmly in place — squaring off against his long-suffering wife Flo in classic domestic standoff fashion, just as pictured on the cover. The tagline says it all: this one speaks "in behalf of every red-blooded, lazy, stingy, lovable, absolutely good-for-nothing drunken bum who's smart enough to listen." At $1.25, it's a cheerful slice of sharp, stripped-down cartoon wit that made Andy Capp a newspaper-strip phenomenon on both sides of the Atlantic.
