Born in 1895 in the Bronx, Milt Gross began his first comic strip,
"Phool Phan Phables", at the age of 20. It was for the
New York Journal and featured a rabid sports fan named George Phan. Milt had been hanging around newspaper in search of cartooning gigs for a few years. He was actually working for Tad Dorgan, a major sports cartoonist of the day, when he landed his inaugural strip. It was to be the first of a series of non-memorable false starts. Animation, WWI and more short-lived strips served as his training ground for his first major success,
"Gross Exaggerations".
