Career
Career
Lubchansky has published comic strips in The Nib, where she was associate editor, as well as on other sites such as Current Affairs, The Daily Dot and Jewish Currents. Her work is mostly short strips (with four panels), and her editorial work focuses mainly on strips as well. She was a finalist for the 2020 Herblock Prize. Her 2021 book The Antifa Super Soldier Cookbook spoofs right-wing conspiracy theories about Antifa activists in the United States. A review in Fast Company said Lubchansky "may have created the definitive piece of satire about the conservative mindset." 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." Her 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. Her graphic novel Simplicity was listed as a bestseller by USA Today. The typeface used in her comics is inspired by her handwriting and is called "Lubhand".
