Bunny Matthews is a cartoonist from the Greater New Orleans Area. He is best known for his depictions of New Orleans characters and local dialect, especially Vic and Nat'ly Broussard, an overweight husband and wife who speak in what some call the Yat dialect and run a working-class corner bar and po-boy emporium in the city's Ninth Ward. In light of these characters' sometimes unfavorable reception, it bears noting that Matthews has often and repeatedly described others' use of the word "Yat" as derogatory. Matthews' cartooning style has been called "post-psychedelic baroque." Vic and Nat'ly first appeared in 1982 in Dixie, a former weekly supplement of The Times-Picayune. Matthews' first cartoon strip was the late 1970s, early 80s era F'Sure: Actual Dialogue Heard on the Streets of New Orleans published in the defunct New Orleans weekly paper Figaro, for which Matthews also wrote music reviews.
