  1. Great news! Bors has been doing great work for years and truly deserves the kudos.

    It also has to be said, and it’s wonderfully rich, that the guy who’s railed against the tired old trope of the obit cartoon –the dearly departed standing at the pearly gate—, that cranky guy wins this award partially on the strength of what is perhaps the best pearly gates cartoon ever drawn…. his Steve Jobs obit toon.

    The cartoon gods do have a sense of humor….

  2. Well, I already said it on social media, but I want to add it here too. Congratulations Matt! I’ve followed your work for years (I have your book), so figured this win was inevitable. Well done!
