In 1889 he graduated from Purdue University, and moved soon after to Chicago to work for the Chicago Morning News, later known as the Chicago Record, and then the Chicago Record-Herald. In 1903 he left the Chicago Record to work for the Chicago Tribune. His long tenure at the Tribune, from 1903 to 1946, helped to win him the title Dean of American Cartoonists.
