Forbell was additionally a notable advertising artist, working for Planters snack-food and Andersen's Pea Soup. Early life and career Charles Henry Forbell was born in 1884 in Brooklyn, New York, as the oldest of four children. His father Charles was a letter carrier. After graduating from the Pratt Institute, he joined the art staff of the New York World, one of the papers owned by Joseph Pulitzer. Around 1910, lasting until the 1930s, he also began contributing cartoons to magazines like Life and Judge, including cartoon series like 'In Ye Goode Old Days' (in Life), 'In Ancient Times' and 'Ancient Sources of Modern Inventions' (both in Judge), which were mostly medieval satires of the doings of knights in armor. For Associated Newspapers, Forbell created a couple of short-lived syndicated comic features, such as 'Inquisitive Willie' (11 September 1911 until 7 January 1912), 'Oh! Why Did I Do It? (29 December 1911 until 9 July 1912) and 'Tomorrow' (18 September 1911 until 22 January 1912). Naughty Pete Forbell's most notable work in the relatively new comics medium was 'Naughty Pete', which ran in the New York Herald from 10 August until 7 December 1913. Although consisting of only 18 Sunday episodes, this feature is considered Forbell's masterpiece, because of its original coloring and inventive panel lay-outs.
