She continued to do magazine work and advertising, as well as a few more strips. Mrs. Drayton is perhaps best known for creating the apple-cheeked Campbell Kids advertising icon.
She was the first woman cartoonist to be syndicated by Hearst.
Here is a Sunday DIMPLES titled "Everybody Gets It But the Kitty." I picked this up at the Arundel, ME flea market. It had been cut and pasted together like a little book. The fellow selling it had a boxful of them and told me that he thought some little girl fan of the comic strip did this about 100 years ago.
It's very, very cute and wonderfully preserved for being about 100 years old.
