Two panel comic from the series "Grand Ballroom of Doom," in which a man with a shaved head, glasses, and a button-up shirt, talks to a crowd of people while holding a box of pizza, telling them that only people who aren't very hungry can have a piece, as a metaphor for the 2020 census, which because of skewed data, resulted in a lack of resources for those who need them the most.
