William Joseph Kresse (June 17, 1933 - January 21, 2014)[1] was an American cartoonist who drew the comic strip "Super" Duper, which was published in the New York Daily News in the 1960s and 1970s.[2]

After graduating from New York City's High School of Art and Design, he began working for the animation studio Terrytoons, in New Rochelle, New York.[3] He went on to design conveyor belt systems before obtaining a job in the art department of the news agency the Associated Press.[3] He went on to become an illustrator and cartoonist at the New York Daily News, the New York Herald-Tribune and other newspapers. Kresse and Rolf Ahlsen created the comic strips "Super" Duper and Scratch, often signed under the joint credit Krahlsen.[3]

Kresse received the National Cartoonists Society's 1974 Advertising and Illustration Award.[4]

Kresse was married to Lorraine Kresse,[1] who has been board president of their cooperative apartment house, Terrace View,[5] in the Jackson Heights neighborhood of the New York City borough of Queens,[2] and a member of Queens Community Board 3.[citation needed]

Kresse died on January 21, 2014, at New York Hospital Queens, in the Flushing neighborhood.[1]
