- Signed his work ''VIP''.
- The cartoons he drew were marked by a kind of maniacal humor that presented people in absurd situations. One well-known panel drawn by him showed a man walking down a sunny street under an umbrella and soaked to the skin by rain falling only under his umbrella. Another had a man on a rowing machine who suddenly sees shark's fins cutting through the floor around him.
- Best known for the daily Big George cartoon character distributed nationally by News America Syndicate.
- Was a passenger in the car driven by his 64-year-old wife when it collided with a trailer being pulled by a slower-moving pickup truck, killing them both. The pickup driver told the highway patrol he was traveling about 50 miles an hour when the crash occurred.
- His first job was at Walt Disney Studios, working his way up to assistant animator before being discharged in the early 1940's when he took part in a strike.
