Born in Chatham, New Jersey, Day attended Lehigh University in 1926, where he drew for the college"s humor magazine, The Burr. After one year, he left and later enrolled in 1929 at New York City"s Art Students League, where he studied under Boardman Robinson, George Bridgman and John Sloan.
That same year his cartoons were first published in national magazines. His cartoon series began in 1954 in the magazine Look, where it ran for years. Day described his character in the introduction to at Large:
lieutenant is a pleasure to bring you a new book of our gentle, imperturbable monk, Now seven years old, he still retains the qualities with which he was born—his hearty appetite for fun (and his large waistline).
His love for children, dogs, and underdogs.
His tendency to be the "quiet type". His good-humored but faithful dedication.
His glasses are for neither nearsightedness nor farsightedness but are precisely fitted for impish antics.
