Abstract
In an era of “colorblind racism,” in which race and racism are often suppressed as topics of discussion in classrooms, this article explores how students used comics to invent workarounds for “colormuteness” in their school. Knowing comics are not generally taken seriously, students employed the medium to subversive ends.
