The four-color funnybooks have, for years, been a medium of escapism. Over time, they've grown from adventure/fantasy stories to encompass all genres (once again, after a whittling down in the 1950s) as well as becoming a means of political expression -- usually in an anti-establishment way, as best demontrated in the heyday of underground comix produced by the master of that niche, Howard Crumb.

Creator Mike Mackey makes no bones about his series, Liberality For All as being propoganda for conservatives. It's a peek into an alternate history and future where political liberalism is taken to its ideological extremes.

 It's a series that has struck nerves on both sides of the political aisle, evoking reactions from liberals and conservatives alike. With the mini-series half completed, The-Trades spoke with Mackey regarding the direction of the story, plans for the future, and the somewhat frightening reactions of some readers.
