Félix Jobbé-Duval came from a family of painters and architects. He studied architecture himself at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. He began his illustration career in the early 20th century for magazines like Frou-Frou, American Illustré, Le Sourire, Fantasio, and Le Rire.

After the War, he contributed to Le Journal Amusant, Les Petits Bonshommes and Le Pêle-Mêle, and made a comic for publisher Offenstadt, 'Le Nain Bleu' (two books in 1927). He illustrated books by Paul Féval and made humorous drawings for Cri-Cri, Ric et Rac, L'Echo du Noël, Bayard and L'Almanach du Pèlerin up until the early 1940s.

In the second World War, he illustrated books and stories for Ololé. He was among the first illustrator for the post-War edition of Fillette, for which he illustrated the first cover and the continuing story 'La Fée des Roses'. Afterwards, he focused on book illustration.
