I’m Matt Bors, I’ve drawn 1,500 political cartoons and I founded of TheNib.com. AMA!

I'm Matt Bors and I've drawn 1500 political cartoons. I've been hustling in the world of Online Content for about 15 years, through the collapse of alt-weeklies to the rise of social media, trying to find a way to keep getting paid to dunk on politicians.

I edit The Nib, a publication for non-fiction comics and satire, which I founded in 2013. Before that, I did trips to Afghanistan and Haiti for comics journalism and I've done two books, War Is Boring with journalist David Axe, and Life Begins At Incorporation, a collection of my political cartoons.

I've done some comics that are probably familiar to reddit over the years: my Steve Jobs obit, my "white babies outnumbered" comic and of course the Mr. Gotcha guy.

The Nib joined First Look Media in 2016, then we launched a whole animated show for the web. Right now, we're Kickstarting a print publication to fund the future of the publication and because print still rules.

We are also launching our first print quarter in September.

Edit: Alright, thanks for all the questions. I'm signing off and getting back to the comics now.
