Andy Capp, 2/21/26

I have long been curious about how old Andy Capp is supposed to be; mostly, I've been a little nervous that he's supposed to be shockingly young, like 28 or something. But today's strip, which reveals that he was around to interact with subcultures best known from a 47-year-old movie that chronicled events that happened 62 years ago, makes me worried that he's actually some kind of eldritch, immortal being. You'd think that compound interest alone would keep such an entity supplied with enough beer money that he wouldn't have to go around mooching!
