Congrats to Jen Sorenson, creator of Slowpoke comic strip. She’s been named as the recipient of the James Aronson Award for Social Justice Journalism. Additionally, she is the first woman to receive the Grambs Aronson Cartooning with a Conscience Award from Hunter College’s Department of Film & Media Studies.

The Aronson award honors “journalism that measures business, governmental and social affairs against clear ideals of the common good.”

Twice is a coincidence.

Three times is a pattern.
