While Hoff was still in high school, Milt Gross, a popular 1930s
cartoonist, told him at an assembly that "Kid, someday you''ll be a
great cartoonist!" At 16, he enrolled at the National Academy of
Design in New York City. At 18, he sold his first cartoon to The

recurring characters, a walrus-mustached man, eventually appeared
as the father in his daily Tuffy, done for the King Features
Syndicate from 1940 to 1950.
His cartoons have appeared in a variety of publications
including, the New Yorker, Esquire, Look
magazine. He was also the host of a television show, Tales of
Hoff, in which he drew and told stories.
