Greene started his cartoon career drawing sports cartoons for Oregon's Portland Telegram (1927-29), the Toledo Blade (1930-32) and the New York Mirror (1934-37).

During that time, Greene was an active freelancer, creating advertising cartoons and illustrations for books and magazines. He illustrated for several Street & Smith pulps, including The Shadow, The Masked Lady and Perry Mason.

In June 17, 1940, Greene began drawing The Shadow daily comic strip, distributed by the Ledger Syndicate. He continued to draw the Shadow daily until 1942 (June 13) when it and other strips were canceled due to the growing need to run more and more war news coming in from the European and Pacific fronts during World War II. Greene served with the medical division of the Air Corps as a photographer at Kearns Air Base in Utah.For Pic magazine, he drew Mac the Medic and Charlie Conscript cartoons. After WWII, he attended Columbia University and was active in traveling with USO cartoonists tours.

He wrote the 1954 song "The Letter" which contained the nonsense lyric, "the puppetutes of love," which was later picked up by Steve Miller as "the Pompatus of love." According to an interview with Green, puppetutes was "A term I coined to mean a secret paper-doll fantasy figure [thus puppet], who would be my everything and bear my children."

Green died on December 24, 2000, in Los Angeles, California, from complications of a stroke he suffered earlier that year.
