When Tom Tomorrow signed on with Daily Kos following his long stint with Salon, one of his stated reasons was the opportunity to build an actual comics team there. Assuming you can find the Comics section (the link is http://www.dailykos.com/blog/Comics, but unless I remember that, am I doomed to continue searching every time for "Tom Tomorrow" or "This Modern World" to eventually get there?), you can now see the rollout of some of what he had in mind.

Animal Nuz, which I confess I don't really get, has been appearing for a while. Now two new strips have been introduced. (Again, don't forget to click on each to enlarge it.)

Now appearing on Wednesdays: Jen Sorensen's Slowpoke

Jen Sorensen is a cartoonist, illustrator, and writer best known for her weekly comic "Slowpoke" which appears in alternative newspapers around the nation. Her work has been published in the Village Voice, Ms. Magazine, LA Times, Nickelodeon, and NPR.org. In 2010, Jen received a Grambs Aronson "Cartoonist With a Conscience" award, part of the James Aronson Awards for Social Justice Journalism given out by Hunter College. She has also won several awards from the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies. More of her writing and art can be seen at Slowpoke Comics.

Now appearing on Fridays: Matt Bors

Matt Bors is a nationally syndicated editorial cartoonist based in Portland, OR. His work has appeared in The Los Angeles Times, The Nation, and Village Voice, among others. His first graphic novel, War Is Boring, a collaboration with journalist David Axe, was published last year by New American Library. He has reported from Afghanistan and is the Comics Journalism Editor for Cartoon Movement.
