The Joy of Soy: Vegetarian Cartoons
by Vance Lehmkuhl
Category: Humor

The Joy of Soy, the world's first (and funniest) collection of vegetarian cartoons, pokes fun at meat-eaters and vegans alike -- anyone, explains cartoonist Vance Lehmkuhl, who draws their ethical line above or below where he does. Vance Lehmkuhl's political cartoon strip, "How To Harry", appears every week in Philadelphia's City Paper. An amalgam of MAD Magazine, Life in Hell and Washingtoon, the strip has managed to offend almost everyone in town at one time or another over the five years it has run, despite its reputation as "politically correct". It also won Philadelphia Magazine's 1992 "Best of Philly" award. Vance's cartoons have also appeared in the Philadelphia Inquirer, the Philadelphia Daily News and The Humanist, and are featured online in the "Cartoon Academy". Lehmkuhl has been a vegetarian for twelve years; The Joy of Soy is his first collection.
