Have you ever heard “we should improve society somewhat” used as a conversation stopper? Or as an ironic rejoinder to someone claiming we must be perfect to achieve any change? Have I got a book for you: That One Matt Bors Comic, now on Kickstarter! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glennf/that-one-matt-bors-comic?ref=3glvj0
Why do a book about a single comic—nay, a single panel of a single comic? To examine how a phrase becomes a meme, how artists aren’t paid when that happens, how memes and catchphrases take over internet discourse. That’s why!

We asked a host of people to contribute cartoons and essays to the book, and announced commitments so far include: Anna Merlan, Box Brown, Laura Hudson, Shay Mirk, Parker Molloy, Greg Pak, Gemma Correll, K.C. Green, Mattie Lubchansky, James Kochalka, and Ben Passmore. Ryan North is writing the foreword! We will announce more contributors as the project progresses! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glennf/that-one-matt-bors-comic?ref=3glvj0

Great project Glenn. Quibble: The toons go by so fast in your video, I and probably most readers can’t possibly read or appreciate them. Pausing for at least 5+ seconds on each would help a lot.

@glennf@zeppelin.flights This is my favorite remix of it.
