Jiggs and Maggie, Irish immigrants raising their thoroughly modern daughter Nora, a syndicated cartoon by George McManus, himself raised by Irish immigrants.
“Sufferin’ cats”
“I want you to go in and see the back of daughter’s dress! She’s got to change it."
“I’ll go look at it.”
“I had her change it.”
“I’m glad to hear it.”
“She had the front in the back!”
This particular strip was run in The Goldsboro News Aug. 27, 1922. The cartoon strip was begun in 1913 and was created by George McManus until his death in 1954. The daughter Nora was modeled after McManus’ wife, the former Florence Bergere. After McManus’ death, the cartoon was produced by Vernon Greene and Frank Fletcher. Sometimes it was published under the name Jiggs and Maggie, and other times Maggie and Jiggs.
