II started like everybody else. l
guess recently said Bud" Fisher, the
comic artist. whose Mutt and JEFF car
toons will be published exclusively in
Washington in The Star, beginning
August 9. when asked how he be-
gan his career-"I was born. This
happened in San Francisco on April
3, 1885, but l didn't stay there long.
We moved about rather rapidly on
account of my fathers business. My
mother and father lived in Portland,
Ore, and Chicago and Milwaukee be-
fore 1 was seven years old"
So Mr. Fisher began to sketch his ca
reer which has led him to the posi-
ton where he is recognized as being
in a class by himself among the Gre
atorS of comics.
LAS long as 1 remember l tried to
draw This art of mine caused some
dispute in the family. My father was
opposed to it, and said 1 was wasting
time, while my mother encouraged me
in it. Perhaps my father objected be-
cause 1 used to make pictures on his
collars either when on or off. 1t made
no difference to me If l saw good
chance"
Buds right name is Harry Conway
Fisher, but it did not take him long to
discard the Harry Conway. This OPP
Grafton was performed when he at
tended the Hyde Park High School. in
Chicago. He continued to pursue his
education in Chicago University in 1903
and 1904, but he did not remain through
either year, being too busy drawing.
His father still refused to weaken in
his belief that Bud should follow some
other profession besides art. even
though by this time he had stopped
using clean collars on which to express
his ideas.
You will never get anywhere in that
business" declared Mr.. Fisher. ST:
But his mother still encouraged Buo.
Because of the disagreement as to the
future of their son, Bud never hao
drawing lesson in his lie. =
After leaving college he went back
to San Francisco, and there earned ms
first money with his pencil. Tom Dil-
Ion, the hat man of that western city
wanted some pictures to be put IN ms
