Jon Dore is me. I is a relatively nice human. When I’m not out encouraging people to get along, I am at home drawing cartoons of the prophet Muhammad. Originally from Canada, I now live in Los Angeles. The days are warm, the nights are cool and there is a bar just down the street which has a happy hour.

On Tuesday evenings I can watch my television show, “The Jon Dore Television Show” on IFC. I pretend that I’m not interested in watching it when friends are over, however it does bring me a genuine sense of joy and it makes me feel superior to others. Variety placed me on their “10 Comics to Watch” list. Read the rest of this entry »
