This Week’s Cartoon: “Conservative Counseling”

Posted on March 29, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

Continuing with a long series of obnoxious happenings in matters repro, South Dakota has passed a law that pretty much forces women to seek “advice” from those faith-based  “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” that I blogged about a few weeks ago. These centers are, as you might expect, notoriously unscientific. Poor South Dakotans. This is the second […] Continue reading →

This Week’s Cartoon: “Dictator Do’s and Don’ts”

Posted on March 22, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

This strip doesn’t really have much deeper meaning beyond being a vehicle for me to draw Mr. Perkins as Qaddafi. I had started writing this when the Egyptian revolution was taking place, and then updated it for the present. I find it hard to write cartoons about the uprisings in the Middle East, as they […] Continue reading →

Hereville is knocked out of The Battle Of The Kids Books!

Posted on March 17, 2011 by Ampersand

Alas, Hereville has been knocked out of the SLJ Battle of the Kid’s Books! Congratulations to Kathi Appelt’s Keeper, which won the round. It’s hard for me to feel bad about this, though. For one thing, Keeper sounds like a terrific book (and I intend to read it). For another, Hereville was one of only […] Continue reading →

WTF Email

Posted on March 16, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

A reader is upset about my Unplanned Parenthood cartoon:
Hi Jen, this is in response to your recent depiction of Planned Parenthood. First of all, I am not irrationally upset, please do not delete this message upon noting that it is a complaint. My lady associate and I found the particular section “Sexual Assault Victim” to […] Continue reading →

This Week’s Cartoon: “Edu-Gangsters”

Posted on March 15, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

As the daughter of teachers, I find myself more incensed by what’s happening in Wisconsin than I’ve been about anything in a while — and there’s been plenty to get upset about. Last week’s coldhearted maneuver by the Wisconsin GOP was bad enough, and then that vapid, braying dipstick Sarah Palin — the opposite of […] Continue reading →

This Week’s Cartoon: “Unplanned Parenthood”

Posted on March 8, 2011 by Jen Sorensen

As you may have heard, House Republicans are looking to solve our nation’s economic problems (not) by defunding Planned Parenthood. What you may not know is that there are currently over 4,000 anti-choice “crisis pregnancy centers” around the country, more than five times the number of abortion providers. These largely “faith-based” operations, known for disseminating […] Continue reading →
