In reply to JimmyD. Thank you for posting. If you read through the whole article though, it seems that Seaman lived a bit longer.

Perhaps Seaman died somehow and that is the reason Lewis ended his life. Dogs become family members and with the great adventure I cannot see where Lewis would have let anything happen to his faithful companion by killing himself.

In reply to Phillip Ergovich.

Thanks so much for your comment! I will look into Rose O’Neill, thank you.

I do think Grace Drayton still deserves a lot of credit. She was working at a time when homemaking was the more common career for women. When her work was recognized, she ran with it and found many new ways to promote her drawings. I’m glad you found and read.

Once again people give her credit too,much lambert (SPELLING MIGHT BE WRONG) They claim that she created “funny babies”,well let me tell you that Missouri girl Rose O’Neill was drawing in 1877,& her churb faced babies were in Cosmopolitan,and lots other popular presses of the day,she did like Rose own her Copyright. congrats! like Jesse Wilcox Smith drew children and babies,too. So I don’t think she was leading the way.Thank you!phil e.

Comment on Bubble Gum: How Dubble Bubble was Invented by Kate Kelly

In reply to Cheryl Buck.

That’s a great question! I don’t have any connection to the Double Bubble makers, but have you tried places like Costco? If the Rangers have the big tubs of it, it must be available somewhere!

Thanks for posting.
