Andy Capp No. 3, Reg Smythe, genre: humor, Bogen er på engelsk
Andy Capp was a product of the 1950s - an era when newspapers dominated and domestic violence was still a mainstream source of humour. Why, almost 60 years after he first appeared in the Daily Mirror, is a layabout lout from north-east England still popular?
Homer Simpson called him a "wife-beating drunk" while his creator Reg Smythe said he was a "horrible little man".
Yet the stereotypical, flat cap-wearing northerner from Hartlepool has clocked up more than 20,000 cartoon strips in newspapers around the world since 1957 - and is still going strong.
Although his ability to shirk work remains unaltered, Andy has had to change to suit society, says Nick Hiley, of the British Cartoon Archive.
It has more than 2,800 Andy Capp sketches from his first 10 years in the Daily Mirror - a shocking 140 of which contain examples of domestic violence.
"Some of the early cartoons are really unpalatable nowadays because of the vicious way he treats Flo," Mr Hiley said.
