How “we should improve society somewhat” conquered the discourse
From $10.00
That One Matt Bors Comic is an entire book about a single panel of a single comic that became a pervasive meme. Edited by Glenn Fleishman, with a foreword by Ryan North.
In September 2016, Matt Bors drew a four-panel cartoon that he had no idea would quickly become “that one Matt Bors comic.” This book is all about that cartoon’s final panel. It includes an introduction by and interview with Matt Bors; new essays and fresh cartoons from writers and artists who think about memes, society, and politics; a look at the ur-meme “On the internet, nobody knows you’re a dog”; and curated galleries chosen from thousands of social-media remixes. Edited by Glenn Fleishman. 128 pages, 8.5×8.5 inches (22×22 cm), softcover, full color.
