Reviews

Brian Crane, Author of The Cartoon Strip, Pickles: There are some cartoonists I admire for their beautiful artwork. There are some cartoonists I admire for their brilliant writing. And there are some cartoonists I admire just because they are great people who are fun to be around. And then there is Jan Eliot, creator of Stone Soup, who I admire for all those reasons and more. She manages to breathe life into pen and ink drawings and makes you believe they are real people that you care about, and can't what to see what they'll do next. And she does it day after day, year after year. That's an incredibly difficult thing to do.

Author Information

JAN ELIOT is a syndicated cartoonist who began cartooning as a way to maintain her sanity. As a divorced working mom trying to raise two young daughters, pay the bills, and still have at least a little fun once in a while, she discovered that cartooning helped her find a way to laugh at her sometimes frustrating life. Once she discovered that she could help readers laugh at their own lives, she was hooked. Eliot has been cartooning full time since 1995 when her comic strip Stone Soup began syndication through Universal UClick. Stone Soup currently runs in over 300 newspapers in the US and in international markets. She lives and works in Eugene, Oregon.
