This is such sad news, but I’m glad the Nib was around when it was. I can’t wait to hear more of your thoughts on:

“ As social media morphs into something even worse than it was—as Buzzfeed News, Gawker, Vice, and the rest of the gang all close down and liquidate—that era feels definitively over. ”

I think your loyal fans and supporters will follow you anywhere you build the good work you have. (I hope that place is here!)

It was a pleasure watching you develop this from the beginning and with the help of all the talent people you mention turn it into one of the best comics anthologies in the history of the medium. So much to be proud of.

It's an outstanding collection of work in the field of comics. The Nib will be noted as one of the great comic publications right up there with "Read Yourself Raw" and "WW3 Illustrated." Bravo Matt & company!

Congratulations again to you and the rest of the team, Matt, on a really impressive accomplishment! I don't think we'll see something as successful as The Nib was again anytime soon. Though, I would, at some point in the future, be very interested to read an essay on the changing media landscape throughout the 2010's and how that related to running the site.

Thanks, Matt for the Nib and all your comics. From an 81 year old to a 40 year old, a compliment from Robert Frost that a professor once put on one of my better papers, You “have miles to go before you sleep”. I’ll be watching for what’s next.
