The Tribune seems to have misspelled the artist's name, who usually signed "Timym". Actually, there was a whole page on the artist in the Chicago Sunday Tribune 1952/12/07 ("Growing up with Caesar"), where he is called "Timym".
But then, he surely changed his first name, when he came to England ("William" is not an Austrian name, his original name might have been "Wilhelm" or something similar), maybe he also slightly changed his surname.
As a side note: several sources (among them the Chicago Sunday Tribune article quoted above) say that he drew a strip in the 30s titled "The Boss". In "American Newspaper Comics", under "735 Boss, The (2)" there's the following note: "SCS says Tim is a pseudonym for Louis Mitelberg". I doubt this: though Louis Mitelberg also used "Tim" as a pseudonym, this one probably is William Timym.
