"Sly, quick and smart, Jen Sorensen's comic strip is nothing like its name. So don't be deceived—Slowpoke is going places."—
Garry Trudeau,
creator of
Doonesbury
“Jen Sorensen is a maniacal genius, gleefully exposing the mendacity which lurks behind conventional wisdom, glib newscasters, celebrity culture, Republican doublespeak, and other ills of our age. I can’t recommend her work highly enough.”—
Tom Tomorrow
“In a world that seems to get murkier by the minute,
Slowpoke
is a freakin’ beacon of lucidity.”—
