  1. So good to see this- what a great choice. Congratulations to Matt!

  4. 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….

  5. The Jobs obit was the single best cartoon of 2011. Congrats, Matt!

  6. Thanks everyone. I can’t believe how that Jobs cartoons took off.

  8. Congratulations! That Jobs cartoon was a hoot…

  9. You’re the man, Matt. (Now you can afford the PBR you promised me). Congratulations!

  10. 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!

  11. Thanks. And John, I can even buy you *two* PBRs now!

  12. Sorry I’m late to this- but add my congratulations to Matt. Well deserved!
