As a Brit I am surprised at how Andy Capp has travelled, it or was, set in a North England Pub with it stereotypical resident drinker... Not the most portable source, it may be that it is not too far from other Western blue collar life?

I first met Capp while I was living in South Africa decades ago. I have not come across him here in the USA, but I follow his antics on the Internet.

I suppose South Africa would be closer to the UK...but even so...

By now you have observed that your post sparked a release of a plethora of groups who's membership is a target of some (as yet unscheduled ?) future culling event. Although I don't think you were looking for that, perhaps take it as a lesson that the majority of us here, frequenting CP, are profoundly disturbed.
And we embrace it.

Speak for yourself... I am just a bit disturbed, not that profoundly

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Not to debate your father but I've always heard it spun from this angle:
"Jack(ass) of all trades, Master of None" - definitely the other point of view.

Quote: They also seem to teach one another. If scientists take one piece of slime mold that has solved a maze and add it to another, that second slime mold will finish the maze faster. There’s even evidence that slime mold can keep track of time.
And remember: They do this all without a brain, without a single neuron. Whatever mechanism allows slime mold to solve these problems, it’s evolved in a manner different from us. And since slime mold has been on Earth for approximately a billion years (compared to Homo sapiens’ paltry approximately 200,000), it’s a pretty useful form of intelligence and worthy of our respect, perhaps even our imitation.

I have gotten to know a few slime molds that were able to solve mazes and kept track of time. Most of the time they were just slimy and moldy, but they thought they were great managers.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

absolutely. Mushroom management: Keep your underlings in the dark and cut off the heads of those who stick them out too far.
