Description | Single-panel comic strip shows Major Hoople brandishing an elephant gun and bragging of his exploits. One of the boarders demands he put the gun away, saying "Any chump who demonstrates a gun in th'house, should take his head to a tree surgeon when it aches!" Our Boarding House, begun by Ahern in 1921, featured Martha Hoople who ran the boarding house with a heavy hand, Major Hoople, her gasbag of a husband, and various boarders. Ahern left the strip in 1936, but it continued to be drawn by others until 1981. |
