Rose Cecil O'Neill (1874-1944) was the first female illustrator of Puck magazine and the creator of the enormously successful Kewpies comics.

One should read it in that mellow estate of sentiment, which lies between tears and laughter and induces, moreover, a sort of inversion of things by which you laugh at the weeping place."
