Matthew Catron (library clerk, Philadelphia Public Library), and Andrew Fontanelle (assistant editor, various TV shows; graphics artist/music composer, Down 2a Science), trace propaganda used by characters throughout comics and films and demonstrate how it correlates to the current climate of misinformation.
