SlowpokeBlog

I posted this announcement on the front page of my site a little while ago, but those of you subscribing to the blog feed may not have heard that Slowpoke now runs in the Village Voice. So for you New Yorkers who've written over the years asking why the strip isn't in the Voice... now it is!

I must admit I've been lusting after the Voice ever since I used to visit my friend at NYU as a college student in the mid-'90s. I used to bring copies of the paper back to my dorm room at U.Va, keeping them around as a sort of antidote to the terminal preppiness of my surroundings. I even moved to the New York area briefly after college, with the ultimate goal of getting involved with the Voice somehow, but went broke before I could muster entrée to the NYC publishing scene (I wound up working at a yuppie dishware store in the Village where rich old ladies would ask me about the purpose of ceramic chicken-shaped containers, to which I replied "You could keep eggs in there," causing them to scoff. I got fired.)

But now, eleven years later, I have exacted my revenge on the ceramic chickens. Pick up a copy of the paper, and look for me somewhere in the vicinity of "Savage Love."
