For comic artist Mohammad Yazid Kamal Baharin, fatherhood was the ultimate game changer.

“I had nothing to lose before, but now I have everything to fight for. I was quite aloof prior to becoming a parent but now, I shed a tear and get a lump in my throat over the silliest of things on TV or in movies, ” says Mohammad Yazid or Zid as he is popularly known.
