Overview
Andy is a memecoin based on the character "Andy" from Matt Furie's Boy's Club comic — the same comic that gave the world Pepe the Frog. While Pepe became one of the most recognized internet memes globally, Andy remained a relatively obscure character known primarily to those familiar with the original source material. The Andy memecoin attempts to capitalize on this connection — positioning itself as the "next character" in the Boy's Club franchise to achieve memecoin prominence.
The strategy of creating memecoins around supporting characters from famous meme universes has been a recurring theme. Brett (another Boy's Club character) achieved significant success on Base chain, proving that the concept could work. Andy follows this template, offering holders a way to speculate on whether the "Pepe-verse" can support multiple character tokens.
The token launched on Ethereum and attracted attention from Pepe enthusiasts who were familiar with the source material. Andy's character — depicted as Pepe's easy-going friend — provided a slightly different aesthetic and personality compared to Pepe's more intense meme presence. However, the differentiation is thin: outside of Boy's Club fans, most crypto participants do not distinguish between "frog memecoin" and "frog's friend memecoin."
Andy has no utility, no product, and no development. Its entire value proposition is the cultural connection to the Pepe franchise and the hope that the Boy's Club universe can sustain multiple successful tokens. This is a derivative bet on someone else's cultural capital.
Community
Andy's community draws from the broader Pepe ecosystem — holders who are familiar with Boy's Club and believe in the "multi-character" thesis. The community overlaps significantly with PEPE holders, Brett holders, and the general Pepe-adjacent memecoin audience. This overlap is both a strength (large potential audience) and a weakness (not a distinct community).
Community engagement is moderate, centered on Boy's Club memes, character lore, and price discussion. The community has produced Andy-themed content that explores the character's personality from the original comic — laid-back, supportive, slightly clueless — and adapted it for memecoin culture. This content is charming but limited in viral potential compared to Pepe's universally recognized imagery.
The community's fundamental challenge is that Andy is a supporting character. Pepe is the star. Brett found success on Base by being the chain's primary Boy's Club token, but Andy competes directly with Pepe on Ethereum — a much harder position. The community is real but smaller and less energetic than its more famous counterparts.
Liquidity
Andy trades on Ethereum DEXs (Uniswap) with moderate liquidity. Volume is lower than top-tier memecoins but sufficient for retail trading. Ethereum gas fees add friction to small trades, which is a disadvantage compared to Solana or Base-based competitors. No major CEX listings exist.
Liquidity is volatile, spiking during Pepe ecosystem rallies and declining during quiet periods. The token benefits from spillover attention when PEPE or Brett pump — traders looking for "the next Boy's Club token" often discover Andy.
On-Chain Metrics
Holder counts are in the tens of thousands on Ethereum. Distribution shows typical memecoin concentration, with early wallets holding significant portions. Active addresses correlate with broader memecoin market sentiment and Pepe ecosystem activity specifically.
Andy's on-chain metrics tell the story of a derivative token — its activity patterns mirror PEPE's with a delay and at a smaller scale. When PEPE pumps, Andy sees increased activity as speculative attention flows to adjacent tokens. When the ecosystem cools, Andy's metrics decline proportionally.
Development
Zero. There is no development, no GitHub, no product, and no team building anything. The token exists solely as a tradeable representation of a comic character. Score: 0/10.
Risk Factors
- Derivative dependency: Andy's relevance depends entirely on PEPE's continued cultural dominance
- Supporting character syndrome: Andy is not the main character and lacks standalone recognition
- Ethereum gas friction: Gas costs limit casual speculation compared to L2 and Solana alternatives
- Crowded Pepe derivative market: Dozens of Boy's Club and Pepe-adjacent tokens compete for the same audience
- Zero utility: No product, no development, no fundamental value
- Concentration risk: Heavy insider allocation creates persistent dump risk
- Limited viral potential: Andy's character lacks the universal recognition that makes Pepe endlessly remixable
Conclusion
Andy is a derivative memecoin that bets on the Boy's Club comic universe supporting multiple successful tokens. The concept has precedent — Brett's success on Base proves that supporting characters can achieve meaningful market caps. However, Andy's position on Ethereum (where it competes directly with PEPE) and its lack of standalone cultural recognition limit its potential.
The token is a second-order bet: you are betting that PEPE stays relevant, that the Boy's Club universe has room for multiple tokens, and that Andy can capture enough of the derivative attention to justify its price. That is a lot of conditions for a token with zero utility.
Andy is a niche play for Pepe ecosystem enthusiasts who believe the Boy's Club franchise has room to grow. For everyone else, the original PEPE offers better liquidity, broader recognition, and the same fundamental risk profile (which is to say: maximum risk, zero utility, pure speculation).
