From 1937 he worked for the Illustrierte Blatt , which later became the Frankfurter Illustrierte .

He became particularly well known for his comics about the cat Oskar , which were printed in the Frankfurter Illustrierte from 1952 to 1962 and also appeared in book form from 1954, beginning with Oskar, the father of the family . After Frankfurter Illustrierte changed hands, Fischer was fired.
