Sunday cartoon: Be a Buddy, Not a Bully

BURRILLVILLE – The news often mentions schools across the area where students are engaging in fights and bullying, and it appears to be a real problem in today’s world overall. Bullying is a serious problem and directly impacts thousands of children, teens and adults. It isn’t hard to imagine that if parents, teachers and community leaders would make an effort to tackle this situation at earlier ages it could have a positive and profound impact on children. It could help curb the tendency to pick on others and prevent these attitudes.

The Itty Bitty Super Dupers cartoon characters reach out to little kids with a three-tier anti-bullying campaign message that encourages them to be a buddy on their cell phones, on their computers and face-to-face. This very popular intellectual property is not only well known for its entertainment value, but also teaches kids about anti-bullying, exercising, nutrition, sun safety and sports safety. These pizza loving, little pint-sized super heroes have been popular with children, teens and young adults for more than a decade nationwide. They have been featured as coloring cartoons and comics published in newspapers, magazines, posters, fridge magnets and more since their publication debut on Halloween in 2009.
