Being Haunted By A Person You’ve Never Met And Never Will, Someone You’ll Never Actually Be

The Perfect Explanation of Privilege – In One Powerful Punchline

“The Pencilsword” is a comic strip by Toby Morris, an illustrator from New Zealand. His most recent comic, “On a Plate” hits hard at the heart of the issues of concerning wealth and privilege.

How many times have you heard the “I’ve never been handed anything on a platter” argument in regard to social security and other social benefits?

Toby wrecks this argument by showing how two children can grow up, be loved and supported, and yet still have two very different outcomes.

Make sure to follow all the way to the end for the powerful punchline. This comic is an increasingly sad reality for far too many of this nation’s children and families.

good riddance live

“Hey you want some weed?” Nah man just insinuate in a conversation that you think of me when I’m not around and I’ll ride that high for the next six days minimum

me watching monsters inc as a kid: how did it take so long for anyone to figure out that human child laughter not only produced energy like screams, but was more effective, and that children aren’t actually dangerous at all?

me watching monsters inc now: monsters incorporated, a multi-billion dollar corporate giant, stood to make extra profits off a scream shortage because low supply with high demand makes it possible to charge a fortune for a necessary commodity and everyone has no choice but to pay the high prices because they can’t go without electricity. Therefore Monsters Inc, as well as any other major powers that may have existed at the start of the era of using scream energy, fabricated the idea that only screams could generate sustainable energy sources in order to create artificial scarcity, because laugh energy was far easier to obtain and far more efficient, and therefore stood to lower the value of energy due to surplus. They also fabricated the idea that human children were toxic, in order to a) make other monsters too afraid to go near them to do research and possibly discover the secret of laugh energy, and b) to make monsters so afraid of going near them that there is a shortage of scarers, making it harder for rival companies to rise up and create competition. Even in the monster world, capitalism is based on lies, greed and cruelty, and even monster companies have no qualms about using and abusing children to maximize profits.

Ive only seen the “character goes berserk after loved one gets hurt/dies” trope done with romantic relationships so the owl house doing it with found family? I need to tear something apart with my teeth

a comic about someone who gets a visit from the reaper a bit sooner than expected, but has someone whos been waiting for them 

Hey, do you like my art? Help support me and buy me a coffee! ko-fi.com/zipper ❤️

the emotion i just experienced is kind of indescribable

love will always find you. Both threat AND promise

My little brother (2 years old) really likes brushing his teeth cause he gets to play with the water in the sink

On the one hand, it means we don’t have to worry about his personal hygiene in that area

On the other hand, it means at about 8:40 every day he goes and stands outside the bathroom door chanting “teeth, teeth, teeth!” Over and over again

I find it funny that people who live in the lower 48 are all like “bald eagles are so majestic and beautiful, symbols of our nation” whereas up here in Alaska, we talk about them almost like people talk about raccoons or opossums

Like “yeah you can usually see a minimum of 6 or 7 around the dump area because they like to hang out there all day and eat garbage”

Symbols of our nation though they may be, they are still trash-eating birds
