In 1886, McCay's parents sent him to [[Cleary University|Cleary's Business College]] in [[Ypsilanti, Michigan]] to learn to be a businessman. While in Ypsilanti, he also received his only formal art training, from John Goodison of Michigan State Normal College (now known as [[Eastern Michigan University]]). Goodison taught him the strict application of the fundamentals of [[perspective (graphical)|perspective]], which he put to significant use later in his career. Goodison, formerly a [[stained glass|glass stainer]], also influenced McCay's bold use of color.

 

In 1889, McCay moved to [[Chicago]], intending to study at the [[School of the Art Institute of Chicago|Art Institute of Chicago]], but due to lack of money had to find employment instead. He worked for the National Printing and Engraving Company, producing woodcuts for circus and theatrical posters. Two years later, he moved to [[Cincinnati, Ohio]] and went to work as an artist for Kohl and Middleton's Vine Street [[Dime museum|Dime Museum]]. While in Cincinnati he married Maude Leonore Dufour. McCay began doing vaudeville [[chalk talk]]s in 1906.<ref>[http://www.filmreference.com/Writers-and-Production-Artists-Lo-Me/McCay-Winsor.html Film reference: Winsor McCay]</ref> In his ''The Seven Ages of Man'' vaudeville act, he drew two faces and progressively aged them.<ref name=chalk>[http://books.google.com/books?id=H3USAr6i1e0C&pg=PA3&lpg=PA3&dq=vaudeville+%22chalk+talks%22&source=bl&ots=phFiS5z0UB&sig=n7ZqUXzoMB0TEKYkURaaR-Wdevo&hl=en&ei=bePVSrGlJJTClAf95JidCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CAwQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=vaudeville%20%22chalk%20talks%22&f=false Stabile, Carol A. and Mark Harrison.

In addition to a series of cartoons based on his popular "rarebit" gags, McCay also created ''[[The Sinking of the Lusitania]]'', a depiction of the attack on the maritime ship. The propaganda cartoon contained a message that was meant to inspire [[American entry into World War I|America to enter World War I]].
