If you've ever heard of the Kewpies, you're probably wondering what these adorable mascots are all about. The Kewpies, used by Hickman High School in Columbia, Missouri, are quite the unique and charming creatures. Created by Rose O'Neill in 1909, Kewpies are essentially naked, smiling babies that resemble little round fairies. They were originally comic strip characters and later became popular as paper dolls and figurines. The name "Kewpie" was adopted by the school in 1914, symbolizing the spirit of keeping smiling, even in tough times 😊. It's a mythological mascot that adds a touch of whimsy and positivity to the school's athletic teams.
