Behind the 8 ball,..
Leads me to believe he faked his "death",...in order to make more cash.
Not unlikely, after all he had been twice convicted of fraud by the time of his death. There were dozens of pending cases which were mooted by his passing. Then there were the bankruptcies. P***ing on "Winnie the Pooh", The furniture line.

A great success, he was, for sure.





He was very cannily marketed, but I hardly think that his work is

Hmph. I've seen the dogs playing poker, I've seen the big-eyed children, I've seen September Morn candy boxes, but I've never seen a Kinkaid painting in my life. Some success.

His paint droppings can usually be found on cards, mugs and other imprintable things at any retail store, often doused with glitter and other garish gimmickry. Also if you hit any yard sales you're bound to see his puzzles.

No creepy, vintage porcelain dolls. Yikes!

Not even the Edison Talking Doll from 1890?

It appears that these nasty things frightened the children. Even Edison himself called them "Horrid little monsters".
Needless to say they were a terrible flop.
