Description: **** THANKS TO AMERICAN TOBY JUG MUSEUM FOR THIS DESCRIPTION************ Jiggs character jug produced by King Features Syndicate of New York, New York, circa 1950. "Bringing Up Father" is an American comic strip created by cartoonist George McManus. Distributed by King Features Syndicate, it ran from January 2, 1913, to May 28, 2000. The strip was later titled Jiggs and Maggie after its two main characters. The humor centers on an immigrant Irishman named Jiggs, a former hod carrier who came into wealth in the United States by winning a million dollars in a sweepstakes. His constant attempts to sneak out with his old gang of boisterous, rough-edged pals, eat corned beef and cabbage, and hang out at the local tavern were often thwarted by Maggie, his formidable, social-climbing and rolling-pin wielding harridan of a wife, their lovely young daughter Nora, and infrequently their lazy son Ethelbert. Jigg's cane forms the handle of the jug.
