Cartoonists
Self-Employed

Navied Mahdavian is a Miami-born (apologies in advance) cartoonist and writer currently living in Salt Lake City, Utah. His work has appeared in The New Yorker since 2018. Sometimes, he also convinces places like Wired, Reader’s Digest, Alta Online and elsewhere to publish his cartoons. He is currently writing his debut graphic memoir, This Country, (publication slated for 2023) about his three years in (very) rural Idaho.

Before becoming a cartoonist, he taught the 5th grade where he learned most of his jokes.
