Description1946.05.22 “Bringing Up Father”by George McManus (1884-1954) and Zeke Zekley (1915-2005) 23.25 x 5.75 in., ink on paper Coppola Collection In 1904, young George McManus was hired by Pulitzer’s New York World as a cartoonist. While he was there he created such strips as The Newlyweds, which comics historians consider the first family comic strip. In 1912, William Randolph Hearst hired McManus away to start a comic strip about a guy called Jiggs, a lower class man who came into a lot of money. With their new wealth, Maggie, Jiggs’ wife, wanted to enter the upper crust of society but Jiggs just wanted to hang out with his old friends at the local bar playing cards and pool and eat his simple favorite foods. This is the classic strip Bringing Up Father. McManus had masterful line work with a strong deco feel to his designs. Over time, he developed the recurring motif of animating the background paintings in certain panels, and this is generally delightful. In the news. The war was over, but not forgotten. On May 22, 1946, Karl Hermann Frank, 48, Nazi SS leader who oversaw the massacres at Lidice and Lezaky, was hanged in Prague. Social/Sharing |

Having the characters in the picture frames breaking the wall is just a frosting of deliciousness to his pieces.
