Meet Duane M. Abel, Cartoonist of ZED
Duane discovered his destiny the first time he picked up a pencil and scribbled his first cartoon! He then began a lifelong pursuit to bring happiness to the world. Along the way, Duane corresponded with the masters of cartooning becoming an envelope apprentice. From these modern thought leaders, Duane not only learned the craft of cartooning, but the four words required for success.
He wants to share them with you.

“DRAW YOUR DESTINY with Duane M. Abel builds such momentum with his four words required for success it leaves students AND educators clamoring for more! The assembly is a powerful program and Duane is a high caliber speaker. It stands head and shoulders above the crowd and in my years of teaching, was one of the best assemblies I have ever seen!”
