This Is What Democracy Looks Like: A Graphic Guide to Governance

From 2019 onward, The Center for Cartoon Studies presents a single-issue comic that transforms civics into a visual conversation. Created by Dan Nott, Eva Sturm-Gross, and James Sturm, this graphic guide explores the structures and tensions of American governance with clarity and warmth. It matters as a timely, accessible resource that invites readers of all ages to understand democracy not as a fixed system, but as an ongoing, collective practice.
