Bio
Tom Tomorrow
Dan Perkins (born April 5, 1961 in Wichita, Kansas), better known by the pen name Tom Tomorrow, is an editorial cartoonist. His award-winning weekly cartoon, This Modern World, a comic strip that comments on current events from a strong liberal populist perspective, appears regularly in approximately 150 papers across the USA and the online magazines Salon.com and Working for Change. The strip debuted in 1990 in SF Weekly. Perkins currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.
When he is not working on projects related to his comic strip, he writes a daily political weblog, also entitled This Modern World
Tom does a great job of reading his comic strips - at first I thought it was going to be boring, but oh no! If you like his sense of humor, you must check out his blog (see UserGenerated LINKS).
