After gaining the required weight, he joined the Navy and was assigned to the Seabees in the Philippines.〔("Jerry Marcus, leading cartoonist, actor," Hersham Acorn Newspapers )〕 After his 1946 discharge, he attended New York's Cartoonists and Illustrators School. As a freelancer, he was published in ''The New Yorker'', ''Look'', ''The Saturday Evening Post'', ''Ladies' Home Journal'' and other leading magazines.〔(Lambiek )〕 ==''Trudy''== When he launched ''Trudy'' in 1963, it was distributed to more than 75 newspapers by King Features Syndicate.
