Wallace A. Carlson started his career as a copy-boy at the Chicago Inter-Ocean newspaper in 1905. In 1915, he turned to animation. By 1919, he founded his own Carlson Studios. In the same year, Paramount, which was making an animation of Sidney Smith's 'The Gumps', asked Wally Carlson to work on it. Here, he met 'Gumps'-writer Sol Hess, with whom he started a new family strip, called 'The Nebbs', in 1923. Carlson drew this strip until 1946. Other Wallace Carlson titles are 'Simp O' Dill' and 'Mostly Malarkey'.
