I'm not familiar with the comic, but it seems to emulate the look correctly. The game is simple to pick up, but not horribly entertaining.

Pick-up and drop, side scrolling adventure game based on the UK newspaper comic strip about a hard drinking, wife-beating, flat cap wearing Northern layabout. It's a tough game basically because it doesn't hold your hand. Puzzles are sometimes vague and leave you grasping at straws trying to solve them. Likewise the map, which is mystifying.
