Logo for the marathon (based on the "Spot the Diff" logo).
The Phineas and Ferb's Memorial Day Marathon was broadcast on May 25, 2009 as part of Memorial Day events on Disney Channel U.S. The marathon was centered around a "road trip" theme. It ran for eight hours, starting at 2 p.m. (1 p.m. in the Mountain and Atlantic time zones).
In between the episodes, segments were shown where Dan Povenmire demonstrated how to draw Phineas, Ferb, Candace, Perry and Agent P. The characters appeared on screen and make comments about the progress of the animation, with Candace, Dr. Doofenshmirtz and Major Monogram appearing while Perry and Agent P were being drawn. A mini-website was created on the Disney US page that listed the episodes and provided a link to a PDF file with the drawing instructions.

Background Information[]
- The logo is the same one used for the "Spot the Diff" Marathon.
- Any time a character's ear is visible, the number 3 is used to define the inside of the ear.
- "Everybody has thin arms in this show. It's just more fun to draw them that way." — Dan Povenmire
- Perry changes from "pet mode" to "Secret Agent mode" when he becomes Agent P.
- The areas around Agent P's eyes are darker, "to give him a sort of 'ready to kick it' expression".
- Disney Channel US has begun including the drawing lessons in the regular evening broadcasts of the episodes.
- In Spain, the drawing lessons were shown during a whole week while they were premiering the first episodes of season 2.
