Your Company Name Here
Welcome to Patrick Wellman.Com
Me and Mr. Duz
Mr. Duz has moved to Springfield, Missouri. O.K,
those in the know will claim that we have moved to
Battlefield, MO. (a suburb of Springfield) and so far
we love it. Now it's time to get back to work and
make Mr. Duz a reality.
Here's how it all began.....
Way back in November of 2006, I woke up one
morning with an idea. I looked at Therese and said,
"Mr. Duz always does the right thing."
"Does he?" she asked, right on cue.
"Yes... He does," I said. That was the birth of Mr. Duz
- a character who always does the right thing.
Of course there are those who will say that such a
persona is impossible, and they would probably be
right. But Mr. Duz is a cartoon character. I put him in
common situations and he chooses the right thing to
do every time.
This allows children to learn that certain situations
require a certain response. Like - looking both ways
before crossing the street. Sure, a child could
choose not to do this, but at what cost?
Mr. Duz is an example setter. Through the narrative
of Mr. Duz stories, we don't tell children to look both
ways, we show children that Mr. Duz looks both
ways. Since Mr. Duz always does the right thing,
children will learn that looking both ways is the right
thing to do.
The beauty of Mr. Duz is that he's simple to read and
simple to understand. Each 24 page book is
illustrated with large Mr. Duz images that show Mr.
Duz acting out the narrator's story.
MrDuz.com features games, puzzles and the Mr. Duz
book store where fans can sign up for the annual
subscription (one new book every month), or buy
individual books as they come out each month.
I hope that you'll visit Patrick Wellman.com regularly
and enjoy the adventures of me and Mr. Duz as we
leap head first into the publishing world.
Thanks for stopping by, and as some say in the
Ozarks, "ya'll come back now, ya hear?"
