Jen Sorensen's cartoons appear in approximately twenty alternative newspapers, including her local weekly, The Austin Chronicle. They are published regularly in The Nation, Ms. Magazine, The Progressive, Politico, and on a variety of websites, including Daily Kos and NPR.org. Her political cartoon, known as "Slowpoke" from 1998 until 2012 but now simply goes by own name, has been recognized six times by the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies Awards and received the 2009 Grambs Aronson Award for Cartooning With a Conscience. A Herblock Prize finalist in 2012, she was the recipient of a 2013 Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award for Justice and Human Rights as well as the 2013 National Cartoonists Society Award for Editorial Cartoonists.

Thanks to the Alan at Daily Cartoonist for spotting this.

The Jen Sorensen Seal of Approval

Jen Sorensen is the first Herblock Award winner I've asked to sign something. "For my fave comics blogger, Mike - Jen Sorensen" is a nice autograph to have.

I forgot to get a picture of her with the bust, but here's a few shots of Jen Sorensen at the Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award ceremony. She won for editorial cartooning and I was one of the five judges.
