Hey there Let's talk about one of the cutest and most unique school mascots out there: the Kewpies. The Kewpie is essentially a baby, and it's not just any baby – it's inspired by the comic strip character Kewpie, which was later made into dolls and figurines. This adorable mascot is used by several schools, but it's particularly popular in Louisiana. The story goes that the name stuck after someone mentioned that players who had just lost a game were still "smiling like Kewpies" back in the 1913-14 school year. It's hard not to smile when you think about a mascot that's essentially a cheerful baby [ICON_baby]. It's a fun and quirky way to represent school spirit ⭐
