DeBeck’s art style is considered to be in the classic "big-foot" tradition of American comic strips. DeBeck was born and grew up on the South Side of Chicago, where his father, Louis DeBeck, was a former newspaperman employed by the Swift Company. His father was French, and the name DeBeck evolved from DeBeque. His Irish-Welsh mother, Jessie Lee Morgan, had lived on a farm and was a former schoolteacher.
