About Me
Posted on March 14, 2008 - Filed Under Uncategorized |

Donna Barstow is the cartoonist and blog author. Picky eater, great friend, curious observer, elitist artist, midnight writer, voracious reader, omnivorous chocoholic, impatient driver, and so-so lover.
In my spare time I’m a cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, Harvard Business Review, Barrons, Glamour, etc. Catch me every week in Slate, if you like the dark, political types. You can see me in Parade Magazine on Sundays. Wonkette calls me a “lunatic genius.” That’s pretty good, right? John & Ken interviewed me here about a controversial political cartoon I did. The lovely Jill Stewart wrote about me in the LA Weekly here, and a commenter said, “You’re doing the Lord’s work, Donna”. Even better!
I have two books out, What Do Women Really Want? Chocolate! and Love Me or Go to Hell. I can be bought.
This is my second blog. I figured lots of people might be interested in hearing me complain about things other than Griffith Park (and Silver Lake), which is my first blog. (And in spite of my best efforts, I just got put on the Best Blogs in Los Angeles list by Chicago Tribune Interactive for that one!) I’m also a contributor to Mayor Sam, Home of Los Angeles Politics, a group blog.
My main website, which has more goodies, is Donna Barstow Cartoons. My brand new blog is The Opposite of Wrong, my editorial and political cartoons.
