After an epic decade, The Nib is shutting down at the end of this month. Publisher and cartoonist Matt Bors explained why:
“After ten years of publication, thousands of comics, and fifteen issues of the magazine, we are shutting down. I am choosing to give it a death with dignity rather than make painful cuts and have it operate as a shadow of itself for a few more years. [I]t will end ten years—almost to the exact day—since I first launched The Nib on Medium in 2013 as a new home for political cartoons and nonfiction comics.”
The site will be maintained as a permanent archive for as long as donations support it. As a thank you to readers — and as a way to keep spreading the stellar work of its hundreds of contributors — Bors is making the PDFs of the quarterly magazine free to download.

Congrats to the entire Nib team on an amazing 10-year-run!
