Bringing Up Father and St Paddy's Day (corrected title)
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

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:

"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."
