Hi, I’m Dave McDonald! I’m a published cartoonist with a corny sense of humor; living the dream here on Corny Creek Farms! I’m also an egg-cellent teaching artist with a popular YouTube channel and a residency program for elementary students where I teach kids how to make their own comics. Make sure and sign up for my MOOsletter to get an inside peek into my latest projects. Welcome!

 

NEW BOOK! NEW BOOK! NEW BOOK!

 
What’s your favorite reptile? The Eastern Box Turtle is the state #reptile for #northcarolina. Yep, and they make excellent delivery drivers, though a bit slow! I’m making #crosscurricular #comics in #raleigh this week with fourth grader
Awesome morning presenting virtual #cartooning & #comics program to a school in Winnipeg, Manitoba! That’s hockey country- and though I’m a big Hurricanes fan, I showed some hockey love by repping the Jets cap and the AHL Moose shirt!
#groundhogday is a bit different in @townofapex NC! Mayor Gilbert and entourage arrive with the Apex Armadillo, a #rescueanimal named Sylvia, who predicted an early spring! I’ve never followed an armadillo act before, but I enjoyed presenting

Enjoyed ringing in the new year watching the new @aardmananimations film Chicken Run Dawn of the Nugget! Action packed and suspenseful, colorful design and of course egg-cellent animation!! A ‘bucket’ list must-see!! #clayanimation #motio
Hyper-focused #4thgrade #students fill out their #comics planning sheets with their own original characters! Super excited to be working this week at Root Elementary School- I look forward to seeing the comics they’ll create!! @rootelementarysc
