What do some of Jim Morin’s peers say about him?
“We’re lucky to have one of the very best, waiting with pen in hand to carve up the phonies, blowhards, crooks and hypocrites who make headlines. They might not want to end up in a Jim Morin cartoon, but they will.” – Carl Hiaasen

“Jim Morin is one of the great under-appreciated cartoonists of the last quarter century.” – The Comics Reporter
