JAN ELIOT
 Jan

her summers in Wisconsin. She always doodled,
beginning with horses and ladies in fancy dresses.
Now days, she creates the nationally syndicated

numerous papers including the Salem Statesman
Journal and The Oregonian. She started out as a

STEVE GREENBERG
"Stone Soup" started out being called "Patience
and Sarah" and featured a single mom named
Patience and her daughter Sarah. She eventually
developed a second strip called Sister City, which
ran weekly in the Eugene Register-Guard for five
years. In 1995, the "Patience" strip was
nationally syndicated as "Stone Soup," and the
rest is history. It was and still is closely based
on her own life.
Steve Greenberg is an editorial cartoonist and
artist in Southern California, drawing for the
Ventura County Reporter in Ventura and through
2008 for the Ventura County Star northwest of Los
Angeles, as well as a wide range of papers through
