Slowpoke is also featured in the Funny Times, CampusProgress.org, Cagle.com, and has appeared in the LA Times, The American Prospect, Ms. Magazine, Legal Affairs, and Z Magazine.
Slowpoke made its debut as a weekly strip in 1998, and has since won three awards from the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies, including 1st Place in 2005. The strip is featured in Attitude: The New Subversive Political Cartoonists, an anthology edited by Ted Rall, and in The Best Political Cartoons of the Year, edited by Daryl Cagle.
