My memory wandered this morning and an image of Andy Capp carrying a pot of either corned beef and cabbage or Irish stew (not sure which) in the old vintage newspaper comic strip materialized. Anyone else recall this old strip? *corrected the thread title from Andy Capp to Bringing Up Father Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!

Upon further reflection it may not have been Andy Capp but rather Jiggs from Bringing Up Father who carried a pot of corned beef and cabbage home. Found this: https://www.thedailybeast.com/...ned-beef-and-cabbage "But according to Ziegelman, that’s when corned beef and cabbage went mainstream, thanks to an unlikely source: a comic strip. “Bringing Up Father,” George McManus’s popular American comic that launched in 1913, chronicled the exploits of Jiggs, a newly rich Irish-American who wanted nothing more than to sneak out on his nagging, social-climbing wife, Maggie, to drink and play pinochle with his lower-class buddies at a tavern called Dinty Moore’s. The carousers’ typical meal there—corned beef and cabbage—became a running joke." Certifiable member of the gun toting, septuagenarian, bucket list workin', crazed retiree, bald is beautiful club!
