Buster Capp Buster Capp Buster Capp is a British comic strip series which debuted on May 28, 1960, in the magazine "Buster" and ran until January 2000. It is a spin-off of Andy Capp, despite not being drawn by the original artist of that comic, Reg Smythe. The first artist was Bill Titcombe, but Hugh McNeill took over as artist after less than a year. After a few years Àngel Nadal took over and drew the strip until 1974, when he was followed by Reg Parlett. Tom Paterson in turn took over from Parlett in 1985 and drew the strip until 1990.
The Potts introduced in November 1920, and with her came the marital disputes and slanging matches, which were to characterise the strip under Cross. In terms of drinking,arguing, swearing and displays of bad temper, "You & Me" remains unique in Australian comic book history and pre-dated "Andy Capp" by almost 40 years. Under Russell, the editors insisted that the strip become "more genteel," so he introduced new characters: a daughter, Ann; a son-in-law, Herb; grandchildren, Mike and Bunny; and Uncle Dick, a good-natured scrounger. With Uncle Dick (Mrs. Potts' uncle), Russell felt he could "sneak" into the strip the less attractive elements
