05 August 1957 - COMIC STRIP "ANDY CAPP" MAKES ITS DEBUT: Andy is a 
orking-class figure who never actually works, living in Hartlepool, a 
harbour town in County Durham, in North East England. The title of the 
strip is a pun on the local pronunciation of "handicap"; and the surname 
"Capp" signifies how Andy's cap always covered his eyes along with, 
metaphorically, his vision in life. Handicap (horse racing) and 
handicapping, in sport and games, is part of betting, a favourite 
activity of Andy Capp.

Andy's hobbies and activities include pigeon racing, darts, snooker 
(his cue's name is "Delilah"[5]), playing football (which always 
involves fights with the other players, and frequently ends with Andy 
being sent off), occasional cricket and rugby, betting on horses (and 
usually losing badly), getting drunk in the local pub (often falling 
into the canal and being fished out by a constable, and usually 
arriving home late as a result), ending up in the local jail, fishing 
(and not catching anything bigger than a goldfish), unsuccessfully 
mooching money from everyone for beer, unsuccessfully flirting with 
barmaids (also yelling at them when he is not served), attempting to 
pick up (mostly young) bargirls (and being rejected usually due to his 
age), loafing and napping on the sofa, playing poker (and usually 
cheating with hidden cards, although plainly seen by the readers), and 
fighting with his long-suffering wife Florrie (also known as "Flo"), 
as well as being served burnt food by her.
