Ahh, you youngsters. Yes, there is/was an Andy Capp (British
contribution to the comic section), but more to the point, Andy Gump
was also a character who lived in the Sunday funnies. I think the
last time I saw him was in the mid/late 50s. There was a strip called
"The Gumps". Andy was the paterfamilias, chinless character with a
pipe. His role was to play the Old Fart, much as I'm doing now.
When I was a kid, all I had to play with was a rock tied to a string,
and I dragged it around in the dirt, and I liked it!!!! Bah!
