by

Ben Sargent, a bald, older white man with a bushy white beard is dressed in a suit and red bowtie, with his artistic tools, including pens, in front of him.

A version of this story ran in the March / April 2023 issue.

An image of a mother standing with her back to the door as her son comes back, declaring, "Home from school, Ralphie?" But Ralphie, apparently a middle school age boy, is holding an AR-15 and a bible, and wearing a NRA button and a Ku Klux Klan hood.
