| Description | Thirteen-panel comic strip featuring Jiggs, an Irish cement mixer who has come into a fortune and his wife Maggie, who aspires to climb the social ladder. The strip generally focuses on Maggie's efforts to keep Jiggs from joining his old friends at Dinty Moore's tavern. In this strip, Maggie goes out, enjoining Jiggs not to leave home. When Jiggs hears on the radio that the Cement Mixer's Ball is about to begin featuring Dinty Moore, Jiggs prepares to leave home, only to hear a later report that the ball is canceled due to a police raid. The last panel shows Jiggs again in his underwear listening to the radio and Maggie kissing him because he had stayed home. Bringing Up Father, begun by McManus in 1913 and drawn by him until his death in 1954, was continued thereafter by a series of artists. When it finally ceased publication in 2000, it had become one of the longest-running strips in the world. |
