Matt Bors is a cartoonist, writer, editor, and the founder of The Nib. He was a Pulitzer Prize Finalist for his political cartoons in 2012 and 2020 and is the co-writer of the dystopian satire Justice Warriors with Ben Clarkson.
His cartoons have appeared in The Nation, The Guardian, CNN, The Intercept, and were collected in the book We Should Improve Society Somewhat. He also drew the graphic novel War Is Boring written by David Axe.
Like every issue of The Nib, it's a perfect way to spend half a day just sinking into its theme. What was striking was how many stories of how many places could be pulled from "Cities" as a topic, with time-capsule meditations on city as warzone flowing alongisde long-pandemic lockdowns to intimate portrayal of finding privacy in public. Cannot recommend it enough.
