Description

Artistry prize winner in the 2026 Jurgen Banned Art Comics Contest.

An authoritarian cat soldier marches through a generic American classroom, destroying books deemed unfit. Mouse children sit at their desks, witnesses to the act; some watch in fear or confusion, while others remain disengaged.
