Matt Bors announced yesterday that The Nib would close after August. I've enjoyed some stuff from them and not loved plenty of other work, but it does seem significant. Ten years: not bad at all. Here's the post: thenib.com/the-future-of-the-nib/

I heard the news. It's pretty sad to hear since it's the only comics publication I know dedicated to graphics journalism. I've been subscribed to their newsletter since 2019 and it's opened my eyes to a wide range of creators and issues I never knew or was well-informed in. I even want to pitch another comic I'm making to them, but I guess that's not happening unless they're still accepting new submissions for the little time they have left.

Not a huge fan myself but they made a huge difference for a lot of cartoonists with exposure and money. I think he said he's paid out $2mil to cartoonists over those 10 years, which rules.
