UP FOR SALE: Antique 1915s The JELL-O Girl Entertains Recipe Story Book Art By Rose O'Neill The Kewpies made their first appearance in the December 1909 issue of Ladies? Home Journal and became an instant sensation amongst readers of all ages. Initially encouraged by publishers to hide her gender from the public, by 1896 O?Neill was hailed ?America?s First Female Cartoonist? by Truth Magazine for her comic strip ?The Old Subscriber Calls.? She made history by becoming the first female cartoonist to publish a comic strip in America. The following year she joined the staff of Puck magazine and was the only woman working there until 1903. O?Neill very quickly became a much sought-after cartoonist, illustrator, poet, and short-story writer. Her works appeared in over fifty magazines, while her illustrations graced the cover of sixty national publications. Proctor Gamble, Colgate Palmolive, and Edison Phonograph, among many other companies, hired O?Neill to create illustrations for advertising campaigns. It was in this stage of her career that she invented what may be her most lasting creation, whose fame far surpasses that of their originator ? the ?Kewpie? characters.
