George McManus
George McManus (January 23, 1884 – October 22, 1954) was an American cartoonist best known as the creator of Irish immigrant Jiggs and his wife Maggie, the main characters of his syndicated comic strip, ''Bringing Up Father''.
==Biography==
Born in St. Louis, Missouri of Irish parents, McManus had an innate gift for drawing and a sense of humor. He recalled an incident when he was in high school: "My teacher sent home to my parents a picture I had drawn of a classmate named Sweeney. This'' is what your boy has been doing,' the teacher wrote, icily. I laid the note in Pop's lap and headed wearily for the woodshed. But Pop, instead, put on his hat and coat and went to the editor of ''The Republican''. He showed Sweeney to the editor. Next day I had a job on ''The Republican'' at $5 a week—as an errand boy."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Famous Artists & Writers-George McManus )〕
At ''The Republican'', he created his first comic strip, ''Alma and Oliver''. During 1904, after winning $3000 at the racetrack, he went to New York City and a job with the prestigious ''New York World'', where he worked on several short-lived comic strips, including ''Snoozer'', ''The Merry Marcelene'', ''Ready Money Ladies'', ''Cheerful Charlie'', ''Nibsby the Newsboy in Funny Fairyland'', ''Panhandle Pete'' and ''Let George Do It''.〔(Don Markstein's Toonopedia: ''Nibsy the Newsboy in Funny Fairyland'' )〕〔(Lambiek )〕
