"I wasn't sure how well the absolutely brilliant What The Duck cartoon strip would translate into a live presentation, but when Aaron did WTD LIVE at our state convention, there was never a dull moment. With just the right mix of old strips, animations, and storytelling, WTD LIVE kept the room engaged and laughing." - Brad Barton
