Because of troubled economic times, Slow Wave may not be in your weekly paper anymore. After ten years in syndication, it's recently been dropped by the New Haven Advocate. Here's an editorial by Red Meat creator, Max Cannon, about the Alternative Comics Apocalypse. If you enjoy comics in print, please let the editor of your weekly know about it!

Slow Wave is currently printed by the Valley Advocate (Western MA), The Hook (Charlottesville, VA), Black & White (Birmingham, AL), Weekly Alibi (Albuquerque, NM), Cache Magazine (Logan, UT), and the San Diego Reader.

    "Jesse Reklaw's work manages that rare blend of pointed humor and specially brewed whimsy. His strip, Slow Wave, recycles dreams into a new and more personal form of satire. There is a fine shock of recognition in his finely detailed drawings that makes you want to find his page week after week."
