> *John Wagner, Hallmark artist since 1970, says Maxine was inspired  by 
> his mother, his maiden aunts and his grandmother, the woman who bought 
> him art lessons when 'fill in  the pumpkins' was about the extent of 
> his art classes at St. John's Catholic School    in**Leonia, N.J.
>
> John remembers doodling as a pre-schooler and says both his 
> grandmother and  his mother encouraged his artistic interests. He 
> eventually attended the Vesper George School of Art in Boston and 
> landed at Hallmark as part of a new artists group.* *But it was the 
> birth of  the humorous Shoebox Greetings (a tiny little division of 
> Hallmark) in 1986 that added a new dimension to John's professional 
> life. The Shoebox way of seeing the world unleashed his talents and he 
> created Maxine.
>
> Why the name 'Maxine'? 'People at Shoebox started referring to the  
> character as 'John Wagner's old lady,' and I knew  that would get me 
> into trouble with my wife,' John  says. The Shoebox team had a contest 
> among themselves to name the character and three of the approximately 
> 30 entries suggested 'Maxine'. John says the name is perfect.
>
> John, who says he's humbled by such acceptance of Maxine, admits he's  
> proud of her.
>
> Now you know the story of how Maxine came to be.
