Mattie Lubchansky



Mattie Lubchansky is a cartoonist and illustrator from the United States, who specializes in satirical comics about American politics. Lubchansky is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns since 2017.

Career
Lubchansky has published comic strips in The Nib, where they are associate editor, as well as on other sites such as Current Affairs, The Daily Dot and Jewish Currents.

Their work is mostly short strips (with four panels), and their editorial work focuses mainly on strips as well. They were a finalist for the 2020 Herblock Prize. Their 2021 book The Antifa Super Soldier Cookbook spoofs right-wing conspiracy theories about Antifa activists in the United States. A review in Fast Company said Lubchansky "may have created the definitive piece of satire about the conservative mindset." 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."

Their 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.

Lubchansky first studied engineering and worked in construction before becoming a cartoonist.

The font used in their comics is inspired by their handwriting and is called "Lubhand".
