Briggs (1875 - 1930) Briggs was best known for his later comic strips When a Feller Needs a Friend, Ain't It a Grand and Glorious Feeling ?, The Days of Real Sport, and Mr. and Mrs. His longest-lasting and most famous comic was Mr. and Mrs. \"Mr.\" was Joe Green, and \"Mrs.\" was his wife, Vi. They also had a young son named Roscoe. Joe and Vi argued a lot. They weren't as bad as Leroy and Loretta Lockhorn, but their relationship was characterized more by mutual antagonism than affection. Neither was especially good-looking, or appealing in any other way. They were middle-aged and dumpy, and seldom made clever or interesting remarks, unless you count their barbs at each other. Roscoe was de-emphasized except in the early years, and virtually disappeared as the series went on. Clare Briggs was a pioneer of American newspaper comics, best-known for his features 'A. Piker Clerk', 'Mr and Mrs' and 'When A Feller Needs A Friend'. Born in Reedsburg, Wisconsin, as the son of a farm machinery salesman, Briggs left his rural home in Lincoln, Nebraska, as a young man to try his luck at cartooning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025-10-17\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blurb","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46494953177219,"sku":"9798875475948","price":19.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9798875475948.jpg?v=1770356155","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/9798875475948","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
