A couple of people stuck in an airport after Thanksgiving use the downtime to think about the pros and cons of various forms of government . . . as Americans are wont to do, you know? They consider monarchies, dictatorships, oligarchies, theocracies, and democracies, defining each form of government and giving examples from world history where something usually went very wrong with it.

It's among the weaker entries in the World Citizen Comics series, but I still found it an engaging review because of my nerdish and wonkish ways when it comes to history and government. I'm not sure the teen audience for whom it seems intended will have my patience with it though. ( )
