This year, Comic-Con shows its caring side with a panel about superheroes who save lives – not in comic books or on the silver screen but in real life. Cartoonist Craig Yoe will be joined by Stacie June of Unilever’s health soap brand Lifebuoy, to talk about how the ‘School of 5’ superheroes primarily through their comic books (along with School of 5 animation, radio shows, music, games, and walk-around characters) are saving the lives of children across the world by changing handwashing behaviors.
Every 15 seconds, one child dies from diarrhoea or pneumonia, diseases that are preventable through the simple act of handwashing with soap. That is million children every year.
Yoe, and his partner Clizia Gussoni, worked with Lifebuoy to create the team of ‘School of 5’ superheroes and their adventures, capturing the imaginations of kids, teaching them to wash their hands five times a day and to get their parents and siblings in the program, too. The handful of superheroes are Sparkle, the big sister-type and the wise leader of the gang, Hairyback, a big furry and lovable master of bubbles, and the germ-busting triplets Biff, Bam and Pow. These 5 superheroes work together to bring this lifesaving habit to life and fight the yuckiest villain of all, the evil Nogood.

Plus, I read it, I loved it, it is masterful blend of Doctor Seuss, Robert Crumb, the pathos of life, love, loss, hope and the pop cultural soup that defines, energizes and overwhelms us. It’s a wonderful work. It’s coming out really soon. Tell us about how this came about.
Yoe’s “Woman & Man+” book is available now wherever fine books are sold and from the publisher at
Craig Yoe: [] It wasn’t something I planned for or even hoped for. Because it was. I’ve been doodling around for. I’m 73 for most of my life, but I never had any long expanses of really seriously drawing comics, etc. I guess I needed some motivation, but the motivation wasn’t positive that it’s a visua
