Reg Smythe wrote and drew ''Andy Capp'', both daily and Sunday, until his death in 1998. Since then, the strip has been continued by unnamed successors, though for years, Smythe's signature remained affixed to it. Since November 2004, it's been signed by Roger Mahoney and Roger Kettle. It now appears in over 1,400 newspapers worldwide — not quite in the range of top strips like ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'', ''ComicStrip/{{Blondie}}'', ''ComicStrip/HagarTheHorrible'' and ''ComicStrip/{{Garfield}}'', but well ahead of ''ComicStrip/{{BC}}'', ''ComicStrip/DennisTheMenaceUS'', ''ComicStrip/{{FoxTrot}}'' and other very successful comics.
