Our Boarding House was syndicated as a daily cartoon in hundreds of newspapers from 1921 until 1981. The best years were from 1921 to 1936 when the originator, Gene Ahern, was drawing the cartoons. Many boarding houses came into being because the main wage earner was not doing an adequate job of supporting the household. It is doubtful that many men were as bizarre as Major Hoople, with his get-rich-quick schemes and his morbid fear of work. Mrs. Hoople was the practical, hard working antithesis of the Major's approach. The resulting interaction was the core of the panel for 60 years.
