Customer Reviews

Highly Recommended!

Intelligent, well-written, hilarious, and original, Ms. Sorensen creates a collection of political comics strips that provoke thought and tickle the funny bone. If you enjoy political satire, Slowpoke is the book to purchase. I purchased the work September 2002 and still have it to this day! This graphic novella is for individuals who desire comics that are different.

Pure brilliance

Everyone I know who has read this book thinks it's superb. Jen Sorensen is the equal of any of your so-called modern cartooning "greats"; Cafe Pompous is laden with beautifully weighted satire - and it's very, very funny. For $6, not to buy this book borders on nutty behaviour.
