A graduate of Hollywood High, Hubenthal started with the old L.A. Herald-Express in 1935. The same Hearst newspaper, which once had the largest evening circulation in America, also produced two other famous sports cartoonists, Willard Mullin, who preceded Hubenthal, and Jack Manning, who succeeded him. Hubenthal reached his peak as a sports cartoonist with Hearst's morning Examiner, when that paper had the best sports section in the city. One of his cleverest creations was a portrait of UCLA UCLA University of California at Los Angeles UCLA University Center for Learning Assistance (Illinois State University) UCLA University of Carrollton, TX and Lower Addison, TX football star Paul Cameron - it was a rooting-section card stunt with each card and its holder meticulously and patiently drawn. Another was USC's football season drawn as a jigsaw puzzle, with the one missing piece the last, yet-to-be-played game: a four-leaf clover labeled ``Notre Dame.'' According to his family, his papers and most of his drawings are in collections at the University of Wisconsin, Ohio State University Ohio State University, main campus at Columbus; land-grant and state supported; coeducational; chartered 1870, opened 1873 as Ohio Agricultural and Mechanical College, renamed 1878.
