Frequently Asked Questions

The Cowtoonist Cartoon Academy is a fun and faith-focused online space where Christian homeschoolers (and all creative kids!) can learn the joy and purpose of cartooning. It’s designed especially for ages 7–14, but honestly, anyone who loves to draw funny pictures and giggle while learning is welcome! Whether you’re a homeschool family, co-op leader, or a curious parent, you’ll find lessons that connect art, academics, and God’s truth in every sketch.

Great question! I’m Debi Hamuka-Falkenham, a professional cartoonist with over 25 years of teaching thousands of kids how to draw and love learning. I’m a Christian homeschooling grandma with a passion for connecting art and academics while glorifying God in all I do. This isn’t just about cartoons—it’s about raising kids who know their God-given talents matter, and how to use them with joy, purpose, and faith.
