Rose Cecil O’Neill (June 25 1874 – April 6 1944) was an American illustrator artist and writer who created the popular comic characters Kewpies. After the growing popularity of O’Neill’s Kewpie cartoons upon their publication in 1909 the characters were made into bisque dolls in 1912 by a German toy company and later in composition material and celluloid.
