review:
'We Should Improve Society Somewhat: A Collection of Comics by Matt Bors' with comics by Matt Bors and an introduction by Tom Tomorrow is a collection of political cartoons capturing a recent moment in political time.

The problem with political cartoons, and books about recent events, is that they capture a moment. During that moment, they are fresh, but they sometimes don't age well. Matt Bors does not like Trump. There is no end of weird material from our current president, and there is much lampooning here about him and his followers.

Some of the comics are funny, but in a large batch like this, they feel repetive, and like a joke that has outworn its welcome. Perhaps in a weekly format, during the time of the events, they were funnier, but not so much here. It also could be that I've never really been much of a fan of political humor in most forms. Your mileage may completely vary.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Clover Press, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
