Description
George McManus (1883-1954) was a prominent pioneer of the comic strip, having done at least eight, including the wildly popular The Newlyweds, before Bringing Up Father in 1913. He allegedly was quite a lot like Jiggs. No word on how much his wife was like Maggie.


BUF was the longest-running daily strip ever, ending only in 2001 and remained among the most successful strips in the country at least into the 1960's. This one features the daughter Nora, who looks almost exactly like every other pretty female McManus put in any strip. Nora strips are expensive. This one wasn't, primarily because the second image of Maggie is cut out. I Photoshopped the first image into the missing bit (and put one behind the actual strip on my wall) to make the strip look whole. The dark parts are from ben day adhesive.
