To Celebrate the 100th 'The Cartoonists' Story: Grace Gebbie Wiederseim Drayton, Creator of the Campbell Kids and Comics Pioneer
“M’m, m’m good! M’m m’m good! That’s what Campbell’s soups are. M’m m’m good!” I remember hearing the young voices of a boy and a girl singing the Campbell’s Soup song when I was a small girl in the 60s, watching their round, chubby smiling faces beaming from the television screen. The Campbell Kids have been cheerfully promoting the company’s products since 1904, when Grace Gebbie first brought the famous cartoon duo to life with her pen. Grace was a pioneer in cartooning as one of the first women to successfully make her mark in the art form.
