Amongst the numerous comic stars of the 20th century, Little Lulu was one of those characters. Little Lulu was created by Marjorie Henderson Buell (best known as “Marge”). She was born in Philadelphia in 1904 and eventually found her passion for art as a cartoonist.
Marge found great success in creating single-panel cartoons throughout the 1920s. It wasn’t until Little Lulu graced the Saturday Evening Post on Feb. 23, 1935 that Marge found her most popular creation to behold. At first, Lulu was supposed to be a simple replacement for Carl Anderson's Henry. However as time passed on, she began to shift into her more iconic appearance and her attitude became more pronounced as a tomboy.
