About the cartoonist

Donna Barstow is a Slate cartoonist and the blog author. Picky eater, great friend, curious observer, elitist artist, midnight writer, voracious reader, omnivorous chocoholic, impatient driver, and so-so lover.
My editorial cartoons also appear in USA Today, Christian Science Monitor, Newsweek, Daily News, CalWatchdog, etc. I’m in the LA Press Club, so there.
I edit Best Cartoons of the Week at examiner.com.
I’m a hybrid. I’m the only New Yorker cartoonist who made a crossover to political cartoons, but I still love doing the classics, so in my spare time I do cartoons for the Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, Harvard Business Review, Barrons, Wall Street Journal, Glamour, etc. (Sorry about all the dead links in the blog to Yahoo, and Slate, and Gocomics. Uclick Universal supplied my cartoons to all 3 venues for 2 years, and then when they fired me (for being a woman, apparently), they deleted all my cartoons in one slash. So none of the links work, and I haven’t had time to fix them all yet.)
I’m doing Psychology Today Cartoons now, too, for you kooks, or those of you who love the crazy.
I have two books out and in print, What Do Women REALLY Want? Chocolate!, and Love Me or Go To Hell: True Love Cartoons . More info and descriptions, including how to get them signed, here.
My other blog: Griffith Park (and Silver Lake) is my first blog, which includes local Los Angeles politics.
All cartoons are copyrighted by me, and cannot be used without advance permission from me, the author and cartoonist. Copyright is poetry and the law.
And in a different vein, although it’s not really that different, I’m a script consultant and dialogue doctor. I’m a member of the Finer Things Club.
Yeah, I’m on Twitter.
Hey, cartoonists get lonely, too. Write to me below.
