About Joe

Joe Mohr aka "Mean Joe Green"

Environmentally themed cartoons for adults, weekly on Wend Magazine, Elephant Journal, Ecopolitology, Ecolutionist, and PlanetSave, and kids, (“Hank D. and the Bee”) every Thursday on Eco-SnobberySucks, EcoChild’sPlay and NaturalPapa.

Joe also does occasional cartoons for Greenpeace, Center for Media and Democracy, Eat.Drink.Better., Millions Against Monsanto, and Conversational Shift. His cartoons are shared, reposted, and re-published all over the web and all over the world (most frequent countries re-posting Joe’s cartoons: France, Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands, The UK, Canada, Mexico, Belize, India and the U.S.).

  6. Joe,

    Are any of your environmentally-themed cartoons (for adults) covered under a creative commons license? I would like to mount a couple of your cartoons (with proper attribution) at an alternative energy website.

  7. Thanks for your wonderful cartoons. I have given you a shout out today on Conserve School’s Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/ConserveSchool.

    I saw your work included in a presentation by Michelle Bouchard, the president of HealthCorps, at the 1st Annual Green Schools Conference in Minneapolis today and I was glad that I was able to find more of your work online.

    Thanks again for providing some educational chuckles,

    Stefan Anderson
    Head of School, Conserve School

    • Thanks for seeking me out Stefan! As a former special education and 3rd grade teacher (10 years) and a lifelong environmentalist (35 years) I am happy to be a part of Michelle’s presentation.
      I looked up your school as well–it looks terrific. I went to college at Winona State and spent many summers in 3 Lakes WI at a friend’s summer home–beautiful country!
      Keep up the great work, Stefan!
      Best,
      Joe Mohr
