Mattie Lubchansky
Mattie Lubchansky is a cartoonist and illustrator from the United States, who specializes in satirical comics about American politics.[1] Lubchansky is trans and uses she/they pronouns.[2]
Career
[edit ]Lubchansky has published comic strips in The Nib , where she is associate editor,[3] as well as on other sites such as Current Affairs, The Daily Dot and Jewish Currents.[4]
Her work is mostly short strips (with four panels), and her editorial work focuses mainly on strips as well.[4] She was a finalist for the 2020 Herblock Prize.[5] Her 2021 book The Antifa Super Soldier Cookbook spoofs right-wing conspiracy theories about Antifa activists in the United States.[6] A review in Fast Company said Lubchansky "may have created the definitive piece of satire about the conservative mindset."[7] In 2022, Print magazine declared Lubchansky one of five political cartoonists to follow on Instagram, writing, "They love to play with surreal, sci fi-inspired concepts, and have a knack for making dystopia feel at least a little funny."[8]
Her debut full-length graphic novel, Boys Weekend, was published in 2023, and was listed by NPR and the Washington Post as one of the best graphic novels of the year.[9] [10]
Lubchansky first studied engineering and worked in construction before becoming a cartoonist.[11]
The font used in her comics is inspired by her handwriting and is called "Lubhand".[12]
