According to The Smithsonian Collection of Newspaper Comics (p. 333):
Our Boarding House, with the braggart Major Hoople, began in 1923 ...
The strips were the creation of Gene Ahern, born on Chicago's south side
in 1895. He attended the Chicago Art Institute for three years, hoping

Ahern died in 1960.
