The Trouble of Bringing Up Father

A single, self-contained issue from 1921, The Trouble of Bringing Up Father was published by Embee Distributing Co. and adapts the long-running newspaper comic strip Bringing Up Father into a one-shot comic format. This early example of a comic book adaptation captures the domestic comedy of George McManus’s beloved characters in a compact, standalone story. It stands as a historical curiosity, bridging the gap between newspaper strips and the emerging comic book medium.
