Jan Eliot is an internationally syndicated cartoonist, whose comic strip Stone Soup debuted 8 years ago. Stone Soup appears in over 140 papers and is read by over 8 million readers.

Jan began cartooning as a form of self-defense when she was a single mom trying to raise two young daughters, stay fully employed, pay the bills, and still have at least a little fun once in a while. She discovered that cartooning gave her the opportunity to laugh at adversity, vent her frustrations, and find humor in being short of money, short of time, and short of patience. Her cartoons have been reprinted in many humor collections, magazines, computer manuals and parenting books.

In 1995, under the new name of Stone Soup, Jan's comic strip was nationally syndicated. She promptly quit her job in advertising to become a full-time cartoonist -- and with the quick success of Stone Soup she has had no regrets. Closely based on her own life and the lives of her unsuspecting friends, Stone Soup focuses on human relationships and the new millennium family. Jan pursues the humor in everyday life, love, parenting and the friends we can't choose -- our relatives.
