Bringing up Father, First series: Edition 1919, restoration 2023 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798211384682)

Bringing Up Father is an American comic strip created by cartoonist George McManus. Discover the adventures of Jiggs and Maggie with the first edition dating from 1919 and restored by Comic Books Restore. Created by George McManus in 1913, Bringing Up Father tells the story of Irish-American Jiggs, a former bricklayer, and his wife Maggie, a former laundress, who suddenly achieve wealth and all the perks that come with it. While Jiggs continues to hang out with his old neighbourhood friends at Dinty Moorersquos Tavern, snobbish and pushy Maggie and their beautiful daughter, Nora, constantly try to elevate him, against his will, to his new social position. With a burlesque clash of wills as its premise, a cast of appealing characters and a fluid line drawing, Bringing Up Father has always been a remarkable comic strip and one of the longest-running in the history of comic book syndication. - Black and White - Format 8,5' x 8,5' - 48 pages - Glossy cover
