Slowpoke is a weekly comic strip by Jen Sorensen that appears in alternative weeklies and other publications in the United States. Slowpoke began in 1998 as a 24-page book, Slowpoke Comix #1. Later that year it became a weekly strip, in which format it has won five awards from the Association of Alternative Newsweeklies. There have been three published collections of the weekly strips. Individual Slowpoke strips have been included in several anthologies.
