Decker worked almost 40 years as a contract cartoonist for the New Yorker. He started out in 1929 with the magazine and then eventually worked his way up to becoming well-known on the New Yorker's pages for cartoons. Decker's humor covers a broad spectrum from changing times to even his large family. Decker's work in ink and watercolor had been featured in several area exhibitions.[3] He did illustrations for "Look" and the "Saturday Evening Post"[4] and did a number of advertisements for the "Philadelphia Evening Bulletin".[3][5]
