This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Bringing Up Father was a classic newspaper comic strip written by George McManus. It debuted in 1913 and ended in 2000, and featured the day-to-day life of "Jiggs", an Irish-American with a habit for drinking, brawling and being generally uncouth, and his long-suffering, abusive wife Maggie, who was constantly trying to get the family into "society". The over-reaching gag was that Jiggs preferred the simple life, eating corn beef and hash, drinking and partying with his buddies, and lazing about, while social-climbing Maggie beat him over the head with various utensils in her eternal efforts to force Jiggs into more civilized behavior -- dressing well, meeting other rich folk, traveling the world, and more. Filling out the recurring cast was their daughter Catie, a pretty (but horrifically spoiled) young woman who shared her mother's social-climbing tendencies, and received dozens of marriage proposals from wealthy dukes, generals, and businessmen. |
