Mirror Test: The Cassidy Hutchinson Story
Cassidy Hutchinson, aide to the Trump White House, was torn between the right thing to do and pressure from the most powerful men in the world. Because her desk was just steps from President Trump's Oval Office, 26 year old Cassidy knew a lot-maybe too much. When the January 6 Committee summoned her, she was afraid, knowing all too well what Trumpworld did to anyone they perceived as disloyal.
Ms. Slate selects crucial text from the gripping transcript that was released. She stays true to the facts in the testimony.
Mirror Test tells how Cassidy went from a loyal aide to a whistleblower. If she was ever going to look at herself in the mirror, Cassidy would have to tell the truth.

"Barbara Slate, graphic novelist, cartoonist, DC Comics legend, teacher and author ("You Can Do a Graphic Novel"), could not be more in the present than she is with her newest foray, a slim paperback called "Mirror Test: The Cassidy Hutchinson Story"...
...clever, witty and relevant, makes an important contribution to the genre of political art...
...Comics, with their origin as political commentary, have slyer subtexts. Clearly, Slate - a rarity in the world of cartoon illustration - wants to educate women to speak up and speak out. That's a tough order in a town like Washington D.C., overwhelmed with female second- and third-degree players, with most positions of real power in the hands of men.
...One of the hopes of political cartoonists is not only to savage the opposition and send up hypocrisy, but to encourage believers in The Right Thing to keep believing and to act on their beliefs. Graphic artists like Barbara Slate are particularly effective in this effort because their art is not just a one-panel shot like a magazine cartoon, but a narrative. There's a story to engage the viewer with text as well as visuals. An inference is that perhaps we will want to know more and seek out more information. In this sense graphic novels can serve as prompts to further, deeper reading - the very opposite of social media quickie news bites."
