Critics Review
Winner of the MoCCA Arts Festival Award of Excellence!
Selected for the TLA Maverick Graphic Novel 2023 Reading List!
“With confident character design and effective symbolic graphics… the result is part Schoolhouse Rock!, part participant-journalism, connecting a winding but hopeful thread between what Salazar’s team refers to as ‘deep organizing’ and substantive change. For comics readers raised on the March series who may be contemplating voting for their first time (or considering their own political futures), Warren offers grounded inspiration.”

Warren brings her strong New Yorker black-and-grey cartooning to bear, inviting the reader in… Younger readers—and many millennials—are likely to relate to the coming-of-age experience of learning while doing and may be heartened to learn that they aren’t alone in not knowing how everything in government works (or doesn’t).”
