“Cry Uncle,” an expression used by bullies to demand submission of the other, became the title of a 23-page accordion fold book, a graphic response to man’s inhumanity to man in Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, and Bagram. The artist wrote, designed and illustrated Cry Uncle, which begins in the Orwellian “Ministry of Love... where they had ways to make you talk.” This impassioned work provides a graphic account describing and addressing the horror of torture through a political lens. Frances Jetter is a graduate of Parsons who has maintained a highly distinguished profile in the communications field for more than three decades.
