Fritz Siebel was born in 1913 in Vienna, Austria. He studied
illustration at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Vienna and immigrated to
the United States in 1936, where he served in the US Army during
World War II. In America, he worked on movie posters for Paramount
Pictures. His most well-known poster was an entry in a national
competition to create a warning to protect national security. His
entry was the famous “Someone Talked” poster, which has won
numerous awards. Siebel began to find work in advertising agencies
and magazines, illustrating for Colliers, Holiday, and the Saturday
Evening Post, and creating the now iconic advertising character Mr.
Clean. He provided the illustrations for A Fly Went By with
Beginner Books at Random House in 1959. He died in 1991.
