About me:



My new collection, SLOWPOKE: ONE NATION. OH MY GOD! will be out in April from Ig Publishing. It contains my best cartoons from the past few years, cartoon meta-commentary, and an intro by Ruben Bolling, creator of "Tom the Dancing Bug." You can get a discount if your order in advance from Amazon.

* * *


I draw the comic Slowpoke, which appears in altweeklies around the country. Slowpoke has also graced the pages of: LA Times, Ms. Magazine, Funny Times, The American Prospect, and CampusProgress.org.

Slowpoke is featured in Attitude: The New Subversive Political Cartoonists, edited by Ted Rall, and won first place in the 2005 Association of Alternative Newsweeklies Awards. Commentary on each week's strip is available on the SlowpokeBlog.

I also do freelance illustration for Nickelodeon Magazine and other publications.

More at: www.slowpokecomics.com
Who I'd like to meet:
Fans and creators of cartoons, comics, art, and humor; political types; writers; reality-based humans.

Not that I have anything against musicians, but if you are one, please send me a convincing personal message explaining why you belong on my friends list so I know you're not just randomly pimping your Jackyl cover band. ANYTHING SMACKING OF BOTS WILL BE DENIED! Of course, if you feel I've dissed you unfairly, you are welcome to send me a message and convince me you're for real.

You know the people that say utopia isn't possible have already given up. Living sustainably in balance with our environment and food sources will bring us the freedom to live in harmony, and provide the opportunity for all to excel in their efforts, dreams and life path. Utopia is not only possible but it is the very essence that should guide our dreams and vision for ourselves and with each other. It is the horizon we should all strive for everyone and every nation. Anything short of that will lead us astray.

Ah, thanks for the friendship. I too am a Sorensen and we must stick together. I forget how I originally found your comics but I try to read them whenever possible. I bought your new book for my brother who loves politics but can never read a book about it because they are either a) not funny b) don't have pictures or c) generally boring. He loves your book though so keep up the good work.

Any visitors to this site who haven't done so yet need to go to www. c-ville. com and read Jen's election campaign commentary. It's the only thing keeping me sane as I spend these final weeks hoping too many people don't change their minds about whom to vote for for President. It's sharp, funny stuff from the heart of the highest-profile "swing" state of this election cycle.

Hi Jen--Thank you for making me your 367th friend. And great job out there in Denver--your blogging was far superior to the coverage of Blitzer, Matthews, and all the other "highly-paid gasbags," to quote one of my favorite phrases from your new book.

Hey, Jen:

I think you were a UCS finalist last year, right? Well...some news...I was nominated for it this year! If you have a moment, could you please follow the link (and hopefully vote for cartoon #9 under the name "Paul Malden" :}):

Thanks!!!

Cheers!! The characterization of McCain's spouse in this week's strip I found highly effective. That whole Picasso approach was spot-on for that one -- the quintessential Bourgeois WASP-Duchess. Gave me a chill; had to put on a sweater in July.

Like the Cartoon? ADD ME!

AMERICA IS ADDICTED TO OIL!

Unimaginable human suffering and mass animal extinction from global warming.
A national security nightmare brought on by dependence on foreign oil.
A peak oil crisis threatening economic collapse.

You choose the reason...

The time to ACT is NOW!

THANKS FOR THE ADD!
