Following graduation from high school in January 1944, Hef (a nickname that he has preferred since youth) joined the US Army, serving as an Infantry Clerk. While serving his duty, Hef took up drawing cartoons for various Army newspapers and became popular even then.
After his discharge from the service in 1946, he headed home to focus on his career. There he began taking art classes (his strong point there was anatomy of course) at the Chicago Art Institute, enrolling that fall at the University of Illinois in Champaign/Urbana. Hugh received his bachelor's degree in two and a half years by doubling up on classes. He spent all other time allotted drawing cartoons for the Daily Illinois and editing the campus humor magazine Shaft, where he initially introduced a new feature entitled "Coed of the Month". After leaving the University of Illinois, Hef began work as an assistant personnel manager for the Chicago Cartoon Company in 1949. This was also the year in which Hugh married his first wife, Millie Williams. In 1950, the newly married man began work as an advertising copywriter for the Carson, Pirie, Scott department store.
His future seemed bleak when he landed a job as a promotion copywriter at Esquire in 1951. When the magazine decided to move its offices to New York, Hef, struggling to support his family, asked a reasonable $5 raise to compensate for the move. Esquire turned him down, and Hugh chose to remain behind and start a magazine of his own. The true history of his legacy was about to unfold-no pun intended.
In 1952, in the midst of his attempt to start a magazine, Hugh's first of four children was born. Christie Ann was brought into the world, a world in which would be both exciting, and vastly unordinary for a girl to grow up. This was the world of Playboy, Hugh Hefner's phenomenon of a magazine. In 1953, Marilyn Monroe graced the first ever cover of this undeniably different magazine.
