Far more than an escape, comics can pack a political punch, as does the work of this week’s guests. First up, Mohammad Saba’aneh describes how he transposes his lived experience to the page, exposing the cruelties of Israeli occupation and celebrating popular resistance as the path forward. Then, Nate Powell uses his craft to break down a specifically American phenomenon – the creep of fascist aesthetics into our police and consumer choices.

Guests:
Mohammad Saba’aneh is an artist, and political cartoonist and author of White and Black: Political Cartoons from Palestine.
Nate Powell is a cartoonist, National Book Award winner and author of About Face.
