He attended the University of Wyoming and the Chicago Art Institute. There he became close friends with some New Yorker artists, Perry Barlow, Alice Harvey and Helen Holunson. He began his career as a reporter-cartoonist for The Kansas City Star and later did illustrations and a full page comic strip for The Chicago Tribune. He was a contributing artist to Navy publications during his service in World War I. Price's cartoons and covers appeared in The New Yorker, Colliers and other weekly magazines over the last 50 years.
