The Missionary

Tjeerd Royaards: 'Another cartoon made during our stay in Haiti. The place where we're staying is literally crawling with (mostly American) missionaries bringing their version of the gospel to poor Haitians. Apart from the fact that it's condescending and colonial, you have to wonder whether spreading bibles and giving sermons actually helps solve anything. The character in the cartoon is based on an actual person staying here, probably the most obnoxious guy I've ever met.' This cartoon is available as a t-shirt design in our webshop.
