Kevin Fagan

Kevin Fagan

Humorist Kevin Fagan is best known as the creator of Drabble, a nationally syndicated cartoon strip debuting in March of 1979.  At that time, Kevin was 22 and the youngest syndicated cartoonist on record. The Drabble family, features Ralph and June, the loveable parents of three not always adorable children – Norman, Patrick and Penny.  Their pets, Wally the wiener dog, Bob the parrot and Oogie the cat, along with a few wacky friends and neighbors round out the Drabble household.  Drabble fans—and there are millions of them–are animal lovers, sports fans, parents, grandparents, college students and kids.  Drabble fans are people who believe in the family, and all that is good about being a family.  Fagan has created an original cartoon six days a week for the last 33 years, each and every one hand drawn. He taps into what’s best in family humor by turning ordinary daily life into relatable and very funny, shared common experiences in the great American tradition of Bill Cosby, Charles Schultz and Will Rogers.

Drabble fans number some 4,000,000 daily readers in over 200 newspapers nationally and various online forums globally. To put those numbers in perspective, Drabble daily readership is the equivalent of a hit primetime television viewership.

Kevin Fagan has 8 published Drabble books to his credit. “Wally’s Weinerful World of Golf” is Kevin’s most recent release and it will be available during the Dog Days of the Summer of 2013. This is a LOL look at golf from a dog’s perspective. We believe it is the first and only book about golf from a dog’s perspective.

Fagan is also known for his “Kevin Fagan and Drabble: Comic Strips, Comedy, and Creativity” live talks that he has performed all over the country including the Charles Shultz Museum in Santa Rosa, California. Fagan draws his material for each engagement from a catalogue of more than 11,000 unique Drabble comic strips. There is truly something to offer every type of crowd Kevin speaks to from Golfers to Doctors, Pet lovers, Students, Mothers, Fathers, kids….if you love family and you love to laugh then you will love to hear Kevin live and in person.
