Duchess and Bruno is where history meets critical thinking. They make comics, card games and books that use the tragedies of the past to teach the skill nobody ever taught us properly: how to spot bad ideas and think for ourselves. It stars the rebellious Duchess, the loyal Bruno, who she loves (and manipulates anyway), and 2,000 years of history with the good (and terrible) bits left in.
They are a mum-and-son team on the Gold Coast. With Annelise, a history teacher of 8+ years with deep interest in how ordinary people get swept up into doing terrible things. Her son Perri is their Creative Director, and the reason none of this feels like homework. Every picture is drawn by hand and every fact gets checked (all original, no AI).
They are an entertainment brand for anyone from 12 to 45 who’d rather laugh than be lectured. Come and say hello, meet Duchess and Bruno, and see just how much fun history can be, warts and all.
Their card game What’s That Fallacy? and first book (24 Logical Fallacies and the Historical Disasters that Followed) land later this year.
