Career

Lubchansky has published comic strips in The Nib, where they are associate editor,[4] as well as on other sites such as Current Affairs, The Daily Dot and Jewish Currents.[5]

Their work is mostly short strips (with four panels), and their editorial work focuses mainly on strips as well. They were a finalist for the 2020 Herblock Prize.[6] Their 2021 book The Antifa Super Soldier Cookbook spoofs right-wing conspiracy theories about Antifa activists in the United States.[7] A review in Fast Company said Lubchansky "may have created the definitive piece of satire about the conservative mindset."[8] In 2022, Print magazine declared Lubchansky one of five political cartoonists to follow on Instagram, writing, "They love to play with surreal, sci fi-inspired concepts, and have a knack for making dystopia feel at least a little funny."[9]

Their debut full-length graphic novel, Boys Weekend, was published in 2023, and was listed by NPR and the Washington Post as one of the best graphic novels of the year.[10] [11]

Lubchansky first studied engineering and worked in construction before becoming a cartoonist.[12]

The font used in their comics is inspired by their handwriting and is called "Lubhand".[13]
