Corkscrew Cartoons & Comics
 |
 |
The corkscrew and cap lifter characters behind the bar are often misidentified as Punch and Judy or other comic characters. They are indeed none other than Andy Capp and Flo. Andy Capp was created in 1957 by Reg Smythe and the comic strip first appeared in London's The Daily Mirror.
From the cartoon Tom and Jerry - The Year of the Mouse (1964)

Left: Alf Erickson writes: I used this Punch magazine cartoon at the International Correspondence of Corkscrew Addicts meeting in Florida in 1978. The caption is "No, not that! Anything but the corkscrew!" Bernard Watney and Homer Babbidge subsequently used the cartoon in their book Corkscrews for Collectors. |

 Wirtz, Virginia - In March 2000 a question was pictorially posed in The Virtual Corkscrew Musuem regarding a giant corkscrew: "What would you do with it?" Oslo, Norway - Jørgen Bønner has submitted the above cartoon in answer to the question. He translates the cartoon title "Trafikkorkfjerner'n" as "Traffic Cork Remover." |
