3.5 stars. As with any story collection, some are definitely stronger than others.

This was a strong collection of comics from Ben Passmore. The reason for the 5 stars is actually from one section in particular that I found affecting. This was graphic commentary on the First Amendment and the coopting of this amendment by bigots and the far right. I've thought long on the 1A and it seemed he and I have had a similar thought train. Although he did not present solutions, the articulation of the issue helped me to understand how I feel more.
Beyond that, the opening sequence called Your Black Friend was sad, funny, and nudged my understanding of microaggressions in the right direction.

I did not connect this author to Adventure Time until after I had finished reading this - which explained many of the things I liked and the general feel of the comics. This comic explores important conversations that are happening now. I feel that this author understands and makes full use of this genre to address these questions and discussions.

Challenges a lot of viewpoints--political, racial, sexual, religious. A very smart book, but so smart I'm sure it went over my head much of the time.

Required reading for all white people trying to be better allies to the Black community.

Righteous and important take on modern issues of race, history, economics, and all kinds of injustice. My favorite stories are “Your Black Friend” and “Its Not About You” and “A Letter from a Stone Mountain Jail.”

Love the art love the content love that there are grammar and spelling errors because it feels more DIY and also I always wonder how everything else ends up so perfect.

I found Ben Passmore through his political work in the Nib and own a standalone zine copy of the story this is based on so I'm mostly familiar with his political work but I also follow him on IG so am aware of his proclivity for fun punk-house squalor anecdotes and post apocalyptic anarchist sci-fi. A lot of people are complaining about those ones which is funny because they only want their black comic authors to write about "important" political issues and not cut loose and have fun doing polyamorous sci fi short story guzz stuff. Smh.
