Tired of sitting through motivational speakers that simply cut and paste material from the internet, then bore you to death?  Ramon Ramirez has sat through a countless number of presentations that if they were on America’s Got Talent, they just wouldn’t make the cut!  Next!!!  Ramirez understands what teachers go through when schools hire presenters with long credentials that simply say “I’m smart, but I don’t know how to spoke!”  Yes, it’s that silly!  Ramirez knows that a lot of great people have a master's in education, but they fail at public speaking, and that’s key to leading, motivating, and inspiring schools, students, and teachers.  Enough of boring people!  Teachers deserve better!  A Teacher Toons presentation is what you need, so give us a call.  Try something different!  Your school deserves it.

After escaping prison (college), Ramirez began his teaching career at the young age of 21.  It was then that his teaching adventures began in a portable which only seated 25 but he was assigned 46 students and with no budget for class supplies.  It was then he realized a story had to be told of failed leadership, disrespect to teachers and of people that show way too much cleavage!  Prepare to be hit by lightning.  Here comes Teacher Toons!Ramon Ramirez is a teacher with 18 years experience in the classroom and 23 in the cartooning world.  He has served as district art chair, department head, has been recognized as teacher of the year, and continues to be a vibrant secondary art teacher in the classroom.  Ramirez’s work extends from Hollywood to Hong Kong — reaching out to a wide audience of fans that have enjoyed his cartooning career for the last 23 years.  Visit the testimonials page and see why people enjoy the cartoons produced by his mighty pen!  The humor is powerful because Ramirez brings a dash of truth to the table and delivers his humor with images that every teacher can relate to, from rookies, to veterans.

In the summer of 2008 I had the honor of meeting Jean Schulz, the widow of "Peanuts" creator Charles M. Schulz.  I told her I was working on a cartoon book.  She asked me what it was about and I told her it was about teachers.  She told me "Oh, there's a lot of stories about teaching!"
