Owner's Description
Kewpies #1 is referenced in Fredric Wertham’s “Seduction of the Innocent” (SOTI) in the text on page 35.
Wertham describes the comic as follows “One Lafargue researcher asked a little six year old girl what comic books she liked and was told ‘corpsies.’ This baffled the researcher (that name would fit so many!). It finally developed when she produced the book that she meant ‘kewpies’. It was one the very few artistic comic books and had on its inside back cover a charming ‘Map of Kewpieville’ showing Kewpie Square, Willow Wood, Mischief Grounds, Welcome Bridge, a Goblin Glen, Forsaken Lake, Blue Lake and a Snifflebrook. What was impressed on this child’s mind, however, were the ‘corpsies’ she had seen in the crime comic books of her friends.”
