As a teenager during the Great Depression, he worked various jobs, including one at a hotel where Rollin Kirby, one of his influences, lived. At 19, Fischetti began studying commercial art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, where he continued his education for three years (1937–1940).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John Fischetti Cartoons: An inventory of his cartoons at Syracuse University )〕 John fought in World War Two, and he worked for the U.S. Army magazine ''Stars and Stripes''. Then he moved to California, where he worked for the Walt Disney Studio in Burbank. Fischetti's job with Disney lasted only nine months, due to the work's strain on his eyes.〔 While pursuing freelance work, Fischetti began his career as an editorial cartoonist at the ''Chicago Sun'' in 1941. Some of his freelance work appeared in such publications as ''Esquire'', ''The Saturday Evening Post'' and ''Collier's''.〔 Fischetti served 1942–1945 as a radio operator and army sergeant during World War II.〔 In 1945 he joined the staff of ''Stars & Stripes'' as a war-time artist with Dick Wingert and other war-time cartoonists.〔 From 1951 to 1962 he was a syndicated cartoonist for the Newspaper Enterprise Association. He then joined the ''New York Herald Tribune'', departing in 1967 when that paper folded. In 1967 he moved back to Chicago and joined the ''Chicago Daily News'', which ceased publication in 1978. He joined Bill Mauldin at the ''Chicago Sun-Times'' two years before he died of a heart attack in 1980.
