I'm not a blind box person in general, but Kewpies and Rose O'Neill in general are two of my very favorite things, so it was a win across the board whichever little buddy I got.
Did you know Rose O'Neill is from just outside Branson, MO? Her home is still there, rebuilt to match as closely as possible to what it looked like when she was alive. There's a gift shop and a gallery, and it includes all her work. She was a commercial illustrator and a suffragette and a painter and sculptor.
She also loved monsters.
If you want to help keep her work alive in the place where she loved to make it, this is the official website.
