Born in Yorkville, Manhattan, Soglow studied with John Sloan at the Art Students League of New York. He published his first cartoon in 1919 and throughout the 1920s he published them in numerous magazines. Most notably he was a frequent contributor to The New Yorker, where his character The Little King first appeared in 1931. William Randolph Hearst lured Soglow away for his King Features Syndicate, but contractual obligations to The New Yorker prevented The Little King from appearing immediately, so Soglow produced a knock-off strip called The Ambassador from 1933 to 1934.
