Nick Bougas (born 1955) is an American documentary film director, illustrator and record producer.^[1] As a cartoonist, he has used the pen name A. Wyatt Mann to produce racist, antisemitic, antifeminist and homophobic cartoons.^[2][3][4]

Bougas directed the mondo film Death Scenes, hosted by Church of Satan founder Anton LaVey.^[5] The film was followed by Death Scenes 2 in 1992,^[6] and Death Scenes 3 in 1993.^[7]

In 1993, he directed the documentary Speak of the Devil: The Canon of Anton LaVey, a profile of LaVey.^[1][8][9]

Bougas has directed several other films, such as the 1994 documentary The Goddess Bunny, about disabled transgender tap dancing artist Sandie Crisp.^[10][11]

In 1998, Bougas released the album Celebrities... At Their Worst!, a collection of comedic audio blunders by such celebrities as Elvis Presley, Casey Kasem, Paul Anka, and John Wayne.^[12][13]

As an illustrator, Bougas has worked with writer and publisher Jim Goad on such publications as Answer Me!^[14][15]

According to a 2015 BuzzFeed News report, Bougas used the pseudonym "A. Wyatt Mann", (phonetically: 'a white man') to produce overtly racist and antisemitic cartoons in the late 1980s and early 1990s.^[3]

Besides black people and Jews, his cartoons occasionally targeted other minorities, including gay people and feminists. Many of them were published at the time by white supremacist Tom Metzger and Feral House publisher Adam Parfrey. Bougas has never publicly confirmed his authorship; however, his identity as Mann was confirmed by multiple people who worked with him at the time, and in captions of photos taken at various events.^[3]

The Mann cartoons have been widely reused as hateful memes by white supremacists, various internet trolls, and later, the alt-right. One cartoon in particular, a stereotypical caricature of a Jewish person referred to as the "Happy Merchant", became one of the most popular antisemitic images on the internet. It has been reused, modified and parodied multiple times, eventually becoming part of the visual language of websites such as 4chan.^{[2][3][16][17]}

Bougas' work as Mann has frequently been combined by Internet trolls with cartoons by political cartoonist Ben Garrison, which Garrison has said generates confusion between the two artists.^[2][18]
