The God of Things as They Ought To Be | M.P. Pellicer
Florence Pretz a native of Kansas City held the design patent for a slant-eyed pudgy figure granted on October 6, 1908, known as the Billiken. Little did she imagine it would inspire a cult-like following.
The Billiken appeared in The Canada West, A Magazine of the Sunset Provinces in 1907. For 8 months the Billiken appeared in five Canada West stories, written by Sara Hamilton Birchall and illustrated by Florence Pretz. They were both friends who hailed from Kansas City, and moved to Chicago.
