Jiggs and maggie comic strip

Bringing Up Father is a retired Comic Strip strip which ran from 1913 to 2000. Originally written and drawn by George McManus, the strip featured the day-to-day life of "Jiggs", an Irish-American man with a habit for drinking, brawling and being generally uncouth, and his long-suffering, abusive wife, Maggie, who constantly tries to get the family into "society", now Jiggs has won a million dollars in a sweepstakes.

The over-reaching gag is that Jiggs prefers the simple life, eating corned beef and hash, drinking and partying with his buddies, and lazing about, while social-climbing Maggie beats him over the head with various utensils while attempting to force Jiggs into more civilized behavior: dressing up, meeting other rich folk, travelling the world and more.

Filling out the recurring cast is their daughter Catie, a pretty, but horrifically spoiled, young woman who shares her mother's social-climbing tendencies, and receives dozens of marriage proposals from wealthy dukes, generals and businessmen.
