Wiki:

"Frank King created several recurring strips, including Tough Teddy, The Boy Animal Trainer, Here Comes Motorcycle Mike, Hi Hopper, and, his first successful full-page comic, Bobby Make-Believe in 1915. King produced a black and white cartoon page, since 1914 named The Rectangle, featuring a variety of cartoons and serial features.

Gasoline Alley emerged from a corner of this page, first titled Sunday morning in Gasoline Alley, in 1918. A great success, the strip would become the first to portray the aging process of characters, and be regarded as the strip became comics' first soap opera. Although King retired from drawing Gasoline Alley in 1951, the strip is still running as of 2007.

King was recognized for his work with the National Cartoonist Society Humor Comic Strip Award in 1957, and their Reuben Award in 1958, both for Gasoline Alley. He died in 1969 in Winter Park, Florida"
