Powell highlights both the danger of normalized paramilitary presence symbols in consumer pop culture, and the roles we play individually as we interact with our communities, families, and society at large. \u003cbr\u003e Each essay tracks Powell's journey from the night of the election--promising his four-year-old daughter that Trump will never win, to the reality of the authoritarian presidency, protesting the administration's policies, and navigating the complications of teaching his children how to raise their own voices in a world that is becoming increasingly dangerous and more and more polarized. While six of the seven essays are new, unpublished work, Powell has also included \"About Face,\" a comics essay first published by \u003ci\u003ePopula Online\u003c\/i\u003e that swiftly went viral and inspired him to expand his work on \u003ci\u003eSave It for Later. \u003c\/i\u003eThe seventh and final essay will contextualize the myriad events of 2020 with the previous four years--from the COVID-19 pandemic to global protests in the wake of George Floyd's murder to the 2020 presidential election itself--highlighting both the consistencies and inversions of widely shared experiences and observations amidst a massive social upheaval. \u003cbr\u003e As Powell moves between subjective and objective experiences raising his children--depicted in their childhood innocence as imaginary anthropomorphic animals--he reveals the electrifying sense of trust and connection with neighbors and strangers in protest. He also explores how to equip young people with tools to best make their \u003ci\u003eown\u003c\/i\u003e noise as they grow up and help shape the direction and future of this country. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNate Powell\u003c\/b\u003e is a National Book Award-winning cartoonist whose work includes civil rights icon John Lewis's historic March trilogy, \u003ci\u003eCome Again\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTwo Dead\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAny Empire\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSwallow Me Whole\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Silence of Our Friends. \u003c\/i\u003ePowell has also received the Robert F.
