Label TextCartoonist Alice Harvey began her career as a fashion illustrator for Marshall Field's department store in her native Chicago. In New York, she - along with her friend, cartoonist Helen Hokinson - worked in the comics department of the Daily Mirror. They both continued their studies at the Parsons School of Design. Harvey had several cartoons published in Life. In 1920, both artists began creating cartoons for the newly-founded The New Yorker.

The Kipling-kipple wordplay debuted in the 1890s and appeared in cartoons and light verse as late as the 1970s.
