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.

I almost completely agree with this, however I think Jon could, in fact, survive nightvale. I think that it also depends on WHEN he would have been transported there (for whatever reason) any time after atound season two he starts to actually go out and get statements, nightvale is quite literally the perfect place for Jonathan sims to be. It’s like an endless buffet of people just casually talking about the horrors that be, and Jonathan if swapped with Cecil and therefore with his job, gets paid to talk about it. That’s his whole thing. He gets fed, and gets to document everything that happens. Nightvale would be Jonathan sim’s paradise. If you got him at the beginning of season one or even before he’d be fucked for sure.

OKAY I AM TALKING NOW

I have seen “Jon could not survive Welcome to Night Vale but Cecil could survive TMA” and yeah. Sure. But also no I don’t think so

spoilers for some of WTNV and TMA

it’s not about curiosity, it’s where the main power or fear comes from

Cecil thrives on knowing someone, all of Night Vale, is listening. He’s a radio host. You don’t host radio expecting nobody to hear.

The statements up until the end of s4 and i to s5 weren’t meant to be heard, that wasn’t why Jon (and the others) recorded them. Not originally. Sure, they fed the Watcher yada yada, but that wasn’t the intent until Jon started -actively seeking out statements-. The reading them out loud in season five, searching for information, Asking people for their stories. It was for his curiosity. And yes, he did record stuff so he wouldn’t “become another goddamn mystery” but he never expected anyone to listen to them. Very rarely does anyone plan to die in some obscure way. The tapes were a backup plan, a ‘just in case’. Had all been normal and all gone well, the tapes he made would have ended in a drawer somewhere.

So now we swap it. Jon is in the Night Vale radio station. He doesn’t know what to do, he certainly can’t do his job in the middle of the desert in a town in america but Boy, there sure are weird things happening. So he goes out, he fights the weird stuff, and it kills him, sending him to obscurity just as he feared.

But Cecil? He’s fucked. The Glow Cloud and the angels and Koshekh and his weird little home town have NOTHING on the fears. And worst of all, nobody is listening. They can’t call in, they can’t message him online, he can’t talk to his town about it. That’s his Whole Thing. That would drive him mad. Even as far as I am maybe 60 episodes in, I’ve heard younger him dreaming of being on the radio, dreaming of being heard. So suddenly, when all he has is a tape recorder and a statement and some weird stuff to investigate, it would slowly drive him to the brink of his sanity knowing nobody is listening. Nobody cares. Not the Faceless old Woman, not the man in the tan jacket, not even Steve Carlsberg, nobody tangible that he knows about is listening. Let’s be honest, even the Eye probably wouldn’t be that interested in him, he’s not even made for reading the statements.

anyways that’s my TED talk feel free to criticize this or add on

What do the huzz think of the old married couple

if i had a nickel for every time i listened to alexander j newall voice a character who had to survive on peaches, i’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

“Omg sam archivist???” NO NO NO NO SAM HASNT COMPELLED ANYONE TF???? DID WE LISTEN TO THE SAME EPISODE? Georgie AND sam both asked Alice questions before she told her story, BOTH OF THEM!!! And alive didn’t go on her long convoluted story because sam or Georgie asked her, she did it because the archivist was there listening and compelling, that’s literally what makes them realize the thing was there! I’m so SICK of all this “sam is the new archivist” nonesense, sam is not NEARLY bitchy or grumpy enough. Sam is a wonderful man and would never pry traumatic stories from the mouthed of victims. (No hate to Jon tho). This also makes me think that Gwen didn’t compel ink5oul, woild be fitting cause Gwen IS bitchy and grumpy enough but I really think that the archivist has been the one to compel people and mom elf the main cast (YET)

I LOVE HER TOO MUCH TO PUT INTO WORDS OMG

Yeah so when Alice repeated several times in season 1 that she is NOT getting involved with spooky eldritch horrors unless something bad happened to someone she cared about, I thought it was going to be a case of sad tragic foreshadowing.

Little did I know it was an actual promise.

The woman is teaching herself computer science, learning about alchemy, and breaking into apartments. She heard the Heinrich Unheimlich case and booked the first flight to Germany. It's insane how the worse things get, the more competent and savvy she becomes. Like she reverse-engineered the DPHW system on the first try. That's crazy! And cool! Alice the woman that you are. The most unserious character and yet somehow the one proving to be the most capable to handle the horrors in this new universe. Love you girl!

Can someone tell me how to have a consistent art style
