The Topps Chewing Gum Company was founded in 1938 by Russian immigrant Morris Shorin and his four sons, Joe, Ira, Abram, and Philip. For years, Topps—which was named because Shorin wanted to top the competition—was content to peddle bubblegum.
Newgarden attended New York's School of Visual Arts in the late 1970s/early 1980s, graduating in 1982, where his classmates included fellow cartoonists/illustrators Drew Friedman and Kaz. He came to the attention of one of his teachers, Art Spiegelman, who published him in RAW and brought him, in 1983, as a creative consultant for the Topps Company. Newgarden was part of the team that created the Garbage Pail Kids, and worked on new editions of Wacky Packages as well as scores of other satiric and novelty products.
