George McManus' comic creation Bringing Up Father<> about an Irishman named Jiggs first appeared in 1913. The strip's success lead to the production of several theatrical shows. Here, a bedroom scene with a doctor carrying a brown medical bag and regarding his bedridden patient, who is wearing red pajamas. Beside the doctor, the patient's wife, in a blue and white striped dress, is tapping her foot with annoyance; against a yellow background; lettering in red.
