Reg Smythe - Andy Capp
« on: July 10, 2020, 06:53:59 AM »
Happy Birthday today to Reg Smythe (Real name: Reg Smyth), the creator of one of the world's best-loved idiots, Andy Capp. Reg would be  103 today but passed away in 1998.

Reg started his career producing cartoons for speedway magazines in the early 1950s - the sport was hugely popular at the time, second only to football.

Andy Capp first appeared in 1957. What was it about the workshy layabout who squandered all his pennies on beer, gambling, racing pigeons and loose women that made him so instantly popular, I wonder?
