A selection of BitterKomix and BitterJusi issues have been acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in New York for inclusion in their permanent collection. The editions are those on which the founders of the two publications, Anton Kannemeyer, Conrad Botes and Garth Walker, and the BitterJusi contributors, collaborated on. Said Walker: "These editions are a recognition of the value of post-apartheid South Africa visual design and our developing new graphic languages. It is a great honour for all iJusi and BitterKomix contributors to be acknowledged by MoMa."
