The Death Way: comic tells the real world story of a 16 year old boy's escape from Syria

Toby Morris (previously) uses animated gifs in his regular cartoon strip for a NZ website; this week, he writes, "I interviewed Hussam, a 16 year old Syrian refugee about how he escaped."

"It's a crazy story, and what I was hoping to do was humanise the situation a bit. 4.7 million stories is impossible to get your head around – one you can empathise with and relate to. Give people a non scary entry point to an otherwise pretty overwhelming story."
