Between 1935 and 1954, McManus's assistant [[Zeke Zekley]] made a major contribution to the strip in both writing and art. Other artists, including Bill Kavanagh and Frank Fletcher, also contributed. When McManus died in 1954, King Features replaced Zekley with [[Vernon Greene]]. With Greene's death in 1965, Hal Campagna stepped in, and Frank Johnson (''[[Boner's Ark]]'') replaced Campagna in 1980. Hy Eisman ghosted the strip for a short time after Greene's death. King Features wanted him to take it over, but Eisman was close friends with Greene, and he was unable to agree to take the strip on.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://cartoonician.com/getting-hy-on-comics-a-profile-of-hy-eisman/ |title=''A Profile of Hy Eisman'', Hogan's Alley #15 |access-date=November 17, 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141112131226/http://cartoonician.com/getting-hy-on-comics-a-profile-of-hy-eisman/ |archive-date=November 12, 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The strip's popularity faded, and ''Bringing Up Father'' limped along until its 87-year run came to a close on May 28, 2000.

In 1995, the strip was one of 20 included in the [[Comic Strip Classics]] series of commemorative US [[postage stamps]]. ''Bringing Up Father'' went digital in 2007 when King Features made the strip available as one of the selections in its [[King Features Syndicate|DailyINK]] email package.
