On A Plate is an online comic Morris created to explain privilege by contrasting the lives from infancy to adulthood of two imaginary people: one wealthy, the other poor.
[1][2] Animated graphics created in collaboration with Siouxsie Wiles for The Spinoff's coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic were similarly widely shared and translated.
[1] Since moving on from RNZ, Morris has been creating non-fiction comics for online magazine The Spinoff,[2] including a series titled The Side Eye.
Called "the defining chart of the Coronavirus", it was based on earlier graphics by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Rosamund Pearce of The Economist, and Thomas Jefferson University professor Drew Harris.
[14][15][3] The World Health Organization (WHO) hired The Spinoff to deliver content in support of the global effort to combat the pandemic, after WHO's communications director encountered some of the work Morris and Wiles had produced.
[18][19] The New Zealand News Publishers' Association awards are given out annually under varying brand names and Morris has been a nominee or recipient since 2016.
