Jen Sorensen

Jen Sorensen is the cartoonist behind "Slowpoke," a weekly strip which has appeared in the Village Voice, Funny Times, LA Times, Ms. Magazine, CampusProgress.org, The Daily Beast, and many alternative newspapers around the country.

Slowpoke made its debut in 1998 and has since won five awards from the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies. The strip is featured in Attitude: The New Subversive Political Cartoonists, an anthology edited by Ted Rall, and in several editions of The Best Political Cartoons of the Year, edited by Daryl Cagle.

In 2000, Jen won a Xeric grant to publish a collection of the first two years of Slowpoke strips. Her latest book is entitled Slowpoke: One Nation, Oh My God!

In addition to Slowpoke, Jen also does freelance illustration and commissioned comics. Clients have included Nickelodeon Magazine, The American Prospect, Legal Affairs, University of Virginia Magazine, and the Women's Review of Books. A graduate of the University of Virginia, she lives with her husband and small canine unit.
