Jan Eliot started her career in comics as an outlet in her busy life as single working mother. Her first comic, 'Patience and Sarah', about a single mom and her daughter, ran for five years in several weekly and monthly papers. Her second strip, 'Sister City', also ran for five years until it was nationally syndicated in 1995 under the new name 'Stone Soup'. At that moment, Jan Eliot quit her job as a copywriter and graphic designer and became a full-time comic artist. 'Stone Soup' is closely based on her own life, depicting human relationships and the modern family.
