Glenn Greenwald says of Matt Bors, who is often featured on Truthout, “Bors embodies the highest virtues of political cartoonists: fearless, provocative satire and cutting, acerbic insights. He’s also unfailingly funny.”
Bors, in his preface to his new book, “Life Begins at Incorporation,” is a bit more blunt about his professional mission: “The world is run by assholes. It’s been this way for some time now. Sometimes the only thing you can do is mark up public surfaces and get everyone to laugh at the people running things. It’s a small form of resistance, a minor annoyance at best to those in power. But if they insist on doing us this way, I’m at least going to make them come out every morning and repaint the damn walls.”
