left William "Bill" Freyse (June 12, 1898 – March 1969) was an American cartoonist notable for his three decades of work on ''Our Boarding House'', syndicated by Newspaper Enterprises Association.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Social Security Death Index )〕 After Freyse graduated from the Central High School of Detroit, he began as an editorial cartoonist for the ''Detroit Journal''. As a staff artist for the ''Detroit Times'', he did theatrical caricature. His commercial artwork included billboards, theatre advertising and cartoons for Ford Motors. In 1939, he took over Gene Ahern's ''Our Boarding House'' from Bela Zaboly and continued to draw it until his death in 1969. Over a 20-year period, ''Our Boarding House'' was written by William M. Braucher (1896–1958).〔(Meet the Sports Writers )〕 Others who worked on the strip included Jim Branagan and Tom McCormick. The Sunday color strip ended on March 29, 1981; the weekday panel continued until December 22, 1984.〔(Lambiek profile )〕 Freyse was married to Evelyn S. Freyse (1908–2003).〔 Their daughter was actress Lynn Borden, born Lynn Freyse in Detroit on March 24, 1937. The family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, and later to Tucson, Arizona, due to Evelyn Freyse's health needs, which required a warm, dry climate. He described his son, Steve Freyse, as a ''"hand gun and rifle sure shot"''. In Tucson, Bill Freyse became a Blue Ribbon flower grower.〔(National Cartoonists Society )〕 Freyse occasionally drew elephants into his cartoons, and his hobby was collecting elephants, as noted by Ken Hall in his column, "The Celebrity Collector": :Borden's father, the noted cartoonist Bill Freyse, was himself a lover of elephants and drew them for his (and Lynn's) amusement when she was a child. Freyse drew the daily and Sunday panels for ''Our Boarding House with Major Hoople'' from the 1930s through the '60s. The strips were syndicated to hundreds of newspapers nationwide. He also created the cartoon version of ''The Lone Ranger'' and co-created ''The Green Hornet''. Artistry was his life's work, but elephants intrigued him. "My father instilled in me a great sense of wonder and respect for the elephant," Lynn said from her home in California, where she lives with her husband, Roger, an automotive designer, and their Doberman Pinscher, Dino. "Elephants are great, majestic creatures, very gentle by nature, and it's true they never do forget!" The first pieces in her collection were left to her by her father, including a bronze elephant, about eight inches tall, and a pair of bronze elephants sitting back to back, their legs in the air.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ken Hall, "Lynn Borden Collects Frog and Elephant Figures" )〕 ==Archives== The Bill Freyse Cartoons collection at the Syracuse University Library has 491 original daily cartoons and 90 original Sunday cartoons from a two-year period of ''Our Boarding House'' (1966–67).
