This Comic Will Forever Change the Way You Look at Privilege

Toby Morris describes himself as “an Auckland-based illustrator, art director, comic artist and recently the author of Don't Puke On Your Dad: A Year in the Life of a New Father.”

His recent comic, The Pencilsword 's “On a Plate” illustrates the concept of privilege, and delivers the truth with a punchline that literally hits you in the gut.
