Karl Hubenthal (known as "Hubie") got his first job in the Art Department of the Los Angeles Herald-Express, the same year he graduated from high school. After a few years he began drawing a weekly sports cartoon for the paper. During the Second World War he served in the Marine Corps. After the war, Hubenthal worked as a freelancer, focusing on advertisements. By 1949, he went back to cartooning at another Hearst publication, the Los Angeles Examiner. He became the Examiner's full-time editorial cartoonist in 1956. When his former publication, the Herald-Express was combined with the Examiner in 1962 Hubenthal's cartoons were carried over to the new publication (the Herald-Examiner). While Hubenthal's work was also in syndication to other Hearst publications and he was also continued to draw sports cartoons and other pieces of sports-themed art. Hubenthal's work was distributed nationally by Hearst's publications for over 30 years.
