''Andy Capp'' is a British comic strip created by cartoonist Reg Smythe (1917–1998), first published in the Daily Mirror newspaper on August 5, 1957. The strip is centered around its eponymous character, Andy Capp, a working-class figure from Hartlepool in Northern England, known for his flat cap and distinctive attire. Andy is characterized by his love for football, his penchant for beer, his chronic unemployment, and his tempestuous relationship with his wife, Flo.

The comic strip is notable for its reflection of the social landscape of post-war Britain, capturing the humor and struggles of the working class. Despite the specific cultural context, ''Andy Capp'' has gained international popularity, being syndicated in newspapers in various countries around the world. The humor is often derived from Andy's laziness, his confrontations with his long-suffering wife, his run-ins with the law, and his escapades at the local pub.

Reg Smythe's creation has been praised for its sharp wit, distinctive artwork, and its ability to evolve with the times while maintaining the essence of the characters. After Smythe's death in 1998, the strip has been continued by other cartoonists, ensuring that Andy Capp remains a staple of British comic art. The strip's longevity and continued relevance are a testament to its creator's original vision and the universal appeal of its humor and themes.

''Andy Capp'' has also expanded beyond the newspaper pages into various other media and merchandise, including stage plays, television series, and a range of products. The character has become an icon of British culture, and the strip's influence can be seen in the broader context of comic art and popular entertainment. Despite controversies over the years concerning its depiction of gender roles and alcohol use, ''Andy Capp'' remains a beloved and enduring piece of British comic history.
