Cartooning with Duane!

A favorite activity among countless retirement communities all across the nation, Cartooning with Duane allows your residents a chance to revisit their childhood through the Sunday Funnies with a professional cartoonist leading them down memory lane. 

With minimal setup (he will bring his own easel), Duane captivates your residents with behind the scene stories about their favorite comic strips.

Your residents also get to see comics come to life before their very eyes, as Duane introduces his very own, family friendly comic strip, ZED.  As he creates his lovable characters, audience members get to hear how each character came to life. 

All drawings that are created in the presentations are gifted to residents for keepsakes.
