Romping Through Bushopia,
By
This review is from: Slowpoke America Gone Bonkers (Paperback)
Jen Sorensen is a brilliant young cartoonist whose non-too-gentle satire is genuinely funny. This little book covers the time period from 9/11/01 to 2003. It is frequently political, but also comments on general "cultural" matters. You read it slowly, savoring one page at a time. My favorite recurring character is Drooly Julie, who gets off on "male undergrads' tawny, muscled thighs covered with a light dusting of man-fur." Then there is "Mr. Perkins," who appears in various disguises, from "the Prez" on down, who is distinguished by an elongated head, sometimes topped off with a hat or a toupee, and who occasionally breathes flames directed at liberals.
Don't miss this book! I rate Sorensen and Ted Rall among the top cartoonists drawing the lives we live today, day by day and week by week. Sheer genius!

This review is from: Slowpoke America Gone Bonkers (Paperback)
I love the new crop of comic artists in this country - the ones considered a little too subversive for mainstream media. And Cartoonist Jen Sorensen is one of the best. Her latest book is the perfect read for a politically burnt-out world. Sorensen's observations, both political and social, are spot on. Hilarious!
