The Goodness of America
Joy on Wheels
In Tucson, Arizona, Frank Powers has turned his lifelong passion for art and literature into The Comic Bookmobile, KGUN 9 reported. Since its inception in 2018, this charming initiative has seen Powers hitting the streets in his vintage 1969 Volkswagen Bus, spreading joy and creativity to children across the city. What started as a personal dream born from Powers’ love for cartoons and stand-up comedy has blossomed into a full-fledged movement dedicated to empowering young minds.
Drawing from his own experiences and artistic journey, Powers sets up vibrant and interactive stations at schools and public events. From coloring sessions to drawing lessons and even puppet shows, every activity is designed not just for entertainment, but also to instill a sense of confidence and self-belief in the young participants.
For Powers, The Comic Bookmobile is more than just a mobile art studio — it’s a platform for addressing important issues such as bullying and mental health. Through his engaging sessions, he encourages children to believe in themselves and their abilities, reminding them that they have the power to achieve their dreams with determination and perseverance.
