We first introduced readers to cartoonist Mat Barton in a profile by Tim Gilmer almost five years ago, and these days we are fortunate to have him penning Please Remain Seated as part of our exciting new back page. He’s had a passion for art for as long as he can remember but ramped up his efforts after he was paralyzed in 2012, finding drawing to be “super therapeutic.” When he’s not cartooning, Barton works as a graphic designer in Portland, Oregon. His work has also been featured in The New Yorker, The American Bystander, The Spectator and elsewhere. Make sure to check it out at matbarton.com and follow him on Instagram, @matbarton.
