Bringing Up Father is an American comic strip createdby cartoonist George McManus.Here the THIRD series edited in 1919. New lay-out byComic Books Restore.The strip centers on an immigrant Irishman named Jiggs a former hod carrier who came into wealth in the United States by winning a million dollars in a sweepstakes.Now nouveau-riche he still longs to revert to his former working class habits and lifestyle. His constant attempts to sneak out with his old gang of boisterous rough-edged pals eat corned beef and cabbage (known regionally as Jiggs dinner) and hang out at the local tavern were often thwarted by Maggie his formidable social-climbing (and rolling-pin wielding) harridan of a wife their lovely young daughter Nora and infrequently their lazy son Ethelbert later known as Sonny. Also a character presented in the strip (portrayed as a miserly borrower) was named fittingly Titus Canby (tight as can be).
