About me:

Maybe I wish I was a vampire, maybe I want to fly, maybe I have a poltergeist. In any case, I'm never bored.

I'm not my work, but my cartoons are a reflection of my life. (And a cartoon without MySpace friends is like...let me think about that.)

NEW! I'm in Slate three times a week now! Also, I just started my cartoon blog, Why I Did It, today July 27! How to cartoon, how not to, and secrets I've never told my therapist. Get in early, while there's still room.
My snarky Los Angeles blog, about animals and plants, is here.

I'm also in lots of other magazines & papers, including the New Yorker. (I sign them D. Barstow, but you can call me Ms. Barstow.)

My most recent book is "Love Me or Go to Hell",Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting a book of cartoons about love and notlove. Nobody dies, don't worry. (Well, there is one dead guy, but you don't know him.)
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
This is a popular cartoon in the book. (No offense, boys.)

Attention CHOCOHOLICS! I have a whole webpage about chocolate and dessert, AND an entire book about it! "What Do Women REALLY Want? Chocolate!"
Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting
(which is also very useful for home-schooling your seal!)
(photo by Hugh Ryono, a marine photographer on MySpace!)

PS. This MySpace blog isn't open to the public right now, but any of my friends here can see it. Reason? Explained within the blog.

And PS. All cartoons here and in my blog are positively, absolutely, incredibly copyrighted. In perpetuity. Because I'm eternal.

..

Who I'd like to meet:

Interesting people. Cute guys (and some of them don't even have to be interesting. Ahem.) Funny people. Curious people.
My Upcoming Parties:
Yours.

    Happy caturday! The turtle way, of course...Momma has been letting me play a lot because of the heat. I like to chase the kitties. They're very nice to me, and when I wake up I have one sleeping next to me. Maybe one day I'll stay still for Momma to get a photo of this

    Hi Donna!!

    I love the new profile 2.0; it was really very easy to switch over...I'm not very good and gadgety with how my page looks anyway........so, it was only logical to try it out.


    I was just thinking about you the other day because I saw your profile on Facebook....I think I like it better; except for the "new" look. Look for a friend request from me shortly.


    I'm doing ok.....how about you?

    CONGRATULATIONS, Donna, on the uClick and GoComics syndication of your BRILLIANT editorial cartoons! (And congrats to SLATE for being smart enough to add you to their content!) I hope that, soon, you will be Donna Barstow, Pulitzer Prize-winning Cartoonist.

    You're shocked I have a face? Most people have one, and even the people that do not, have something there.


    Match? Very funny. I've had more than enough with dishonest, disloyal swingers, thank you.

    It's funny and easy to understand.


    The end.
