William C. King (1911-1993) was a cartoonist, journalist, and photographer for the Chattanooga Times from 1942-1992. King, born in Bronx, New York, was raised in Rome, Georgia where he was able to cultivate a love for sketching through taking a “corresponding course of cartooning” in college. During his employment with the Times, King worked as a photographer, journalist, and cartoonist, earning him the name “Triple Threat” among his colleagues. King’s photographs typically consisted of Chattanooga landscapes, buildings, sporting events, politicians, and significant events such as presidential visits. His writing included a weekly fishing column called “Wetting a Line.” King’s cartoons set him apart at the Times. His caricatures, which depicted anyone from a local happening to national news, added a dash of humor and optimism to what could be a seemingly dark time. These cartoons were made primarily through humorous caricatures of famous individuals. One of King’s signature caricatures was a small dapper man named “Little Willy King”. In most of his cartoons, "Little Willie King", a caricature of King himself, makes an appearance with a spot of witty dialogue to add a humorous twist. King also created annual New Year's Greeting cartoons that featured hundreds of names of important Chattanoogan individuals.
