Johnson also collaborated on four children's books with his wife, Ruth Krauss. The children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon was published in 1955. In 1942, he developed the Barnaby strip which would make him famous for the left-wing daily newspaper PM. He remained with the magazine until 1940 and embarked on a career drawing comic strips in a series in Collier's magazine named 'The Little Man with the Eyes'. In 1934, he began his cartooning career by contributing to the Communist Party publication New Masses and subsequently joined the publication's staff, becoming its art editor and redesigning the magazine's layout. With the Great Depression, Johnson became politicized and turned leftward, joining the radical Book and Magazine Writers Union.
