The Future Is Awesome: Tom Tomorrow

TOM TOMORROW (born Dan Perkins) is best known for his weekly offering, "This Modern World," which appears in numerous papers as well as on Salon.com, but he also is the author of several cartoon anthologies. His latest, titled "The Future's So Bright I Can't Bear to Look," takes shots at Bush's second term and also looks forward to the post-Dubya era. You can join him at Politics & Prose for a low-key Friday evening to hear him talk about the book and get excited that the end of said administration is drawing near.

Express contributor Glenn Dixon spoke with Tomorrow; read it here.
