==''This Modern World''== {{Main|This Modern World}} ''This Modern World'' is Perkins' ongoing comic strip that has been published continuously for more than 31 years. While it often ridicules those in power, the strip also focuses on the average American's support for contemporary leaders and their policies, as well as the popular media's role in shaping public perception. In addition to any politicians and celebrities depicted, the strip has several recurring characters: * A sunglasses-wearing penguin named "Sparky" and his Boston terrier friend, "Blinky" * "Biff", a generic conservative often used by Sparky as a foil * "Conservative Jones", a [[Encyclopedia Brown|boy detective]] whose deductive reasoning satirizes the logic of conservative news analysts and politicians * The tentacle-waving aliens of planet Glox * The "Small Cute Dog", who was accidentally elected president on "parallel earth", and whose subsequent actions mirrored those of President George W. Bush * The "Invisible Hand of the Free Market Man", a superhero figure whose head is shaped like a human hand In September 2001, he began his blog, also called ''This Modern World''.
