The title points to *Bringing Up Father*, George McManus's comic strip, which Hearst's *New York Journal* began running in 1913. It follows Jiggs, a bricklayer who strikes it rich, and his wife Maggie, who pushes the family toward high society while Jiggs keeps slipping back to his old friends and his favorite saloon. The strip ran for decades and was reprinted widely, and its title became a catchphrase. The record does not name a specific scene, so the picture is best read as a window onto early twentieth-century popular humor and its comic take on class and immigrant ambition.
