Our Mission

To inspire children (and adults!) to think for themselves

To not be so easily hoodwinked - sharp enough to spot tricks, resist manipulation, and make smart choices.

Duchess and Bruno bring this to life with comics and activities that make learning fun, meaningful and unforgettable.

Like George Orwell's Animal Farm, our characters mirror the world around us.

Duchess, Bruno and Boxer are everyday folks, like you and me.

Gizmo, the chihuahua, is a billionaire who owns and controls most of the major industries in the community.

Our journalist, Tracy, represents the media and Bubba, Gizmo's henchman, stands for those who mindlessly follow orders, no matter how strange or cruel.

With these relatable characters, Duchess and Bruno make history come to life with laughter and heart. Through our comics and activities, our characters help kids spot thinking traps, question what they see, and make choices that are good for themselves and their world.

In today’s world, we can’t imagine anything more important.

Thank you for joining us on this journey.

Kindest regards,
