Bringing Up Father (also known as Jiggs and Maggie) is an American comic strip by George McManus, running in newspapers from January 1913 to May 2000. It follows the life of Jiggs, an Irish immigrant who wins a million dollars from a sweepstakes. Despite this newfound wealth, Jiggs would rather live his old working-class lifestyle. His wife Maggie, who desires to climb the social ladder, will try to make him take up more civilized habits, often through physical abuse.
