Occupy The Illustrated Occupy Portland

Excellent cartoonist, reporter, and funny person Matt Bors was on the scene at Occupy Portland all weekend, snapping photos, tweeting updates, and surviving on VooDoo Doughnuts and watery coffee.
His sketches from the protest and eviction illustrate this week's Mercury news section. The paper has yet to hit the streets so, Internet world, you're getting the first look at his drawings. Here you go!
Bors is the comics journalism editor for website Cartoon Movement, where hes put together drawings from cartoonists at Occupy Oakland, Chicago, and Wall Street.
