He was born in 1906 as Marvin Kellogg Barlow in Bellingham, Washington, and studied Arts in Chicago. He initially worked in the advertising business and turned to cartooning in the New York area the late 1930s. His work appeared in magazines and papers like Collier's and the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, and in a variety of advertising campaigns.
