Doc Hoag was a comic book artist on the feature "Doc's" Little Big Show for Funny Pages (Comics Magazine Company, 1936 series) and as a cartoonist for electronic and radio magazines. His work appeared primarily in the late 1930s. Outside of his comic and cartoon work, Hoag ran his own business for a time called Hoag Radio in Utica, New York and he developed a method of background music that was eventually sold to Muzac. He did numerous articles over the years for electronics-related magazines. Hoag was a life-long participant in amateur radio. He founded the Utica Amateur Radio Club, was a member of the Antique Wireless Association (AWA), the Quarter Century Wireless Association (QCWA) Gator Chapter of Clearwater Florida, and of the Audio Engineering Society. Hoag maintained the radio call signs 8BMZ in 1921, and later W8HNY, W8JYQ, and WB2DMH. Until his retirement in 1969, he worked in the Advanced Development Engineering portion of the General Electric Radio Review Department. Hoag attended Vernon High School in Vernon, New York, the RCA Institute, and attended Mohawk Valley Community College. It is likely his cartooning was mostly self-taught.
