They were created originally as cartoon characters in juvenile books, similar to the animal cartoon Uncle Wiggily in that respect. The dolls were made by Knickerbocker Toy company and were very popular. Originally only Ann ( I think they spell it without the E, unlike my Mother"s usage) Andy was written into the series later... in due time there were movie Cartoons about the odd-looking but lovable pair. Two hearts as one may have been a slogan in the film cartoon. The artist who cooked up the whole thing was one Johnny Gruelle. the cartoonist got into this act after a near nervous paralysis following witnessing an extremely violent bank robbery or suicide. In his case the plunge into fantasy worked out. Yes, they came out in the teens, around l9l5 ( in cartoon form and books)- later movie cartoons.
