International Woman of Mystery. . .

Hello Friends!
As some may have figured out am not exactly the best at posting on a regular basis.  It has been more than a couple of months, to say the least, since the last time I have found the right combination of motivation and creativity/necessity to create new SuperCrip comic.  Without any kind of notice, in the last month or two, Supercrip has become somewhat of a Danish star, calling her name from across the great pond.  I was contacted by the Storm P Museum in Copenhagen asking if they could include a super Crip comic in their exhibition about satire and humor in relation to crossing borders.  It was and is super exciting to be asked to be included. OF COURSE, I said yes!
Security, Security Grab That Girl! is now officially being shown at the Museum from now until September.  That is 4 months on a Danish wall YA'LL!

In other great news, I was also asked to contribute a comic to REACH of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex quarterly newsletter.  Here is the first comic that will appear in the spring issue of the REACH newsletter!

Supercrip comic: Resources for Independent Hairstyling, REACH Special Issue spring 2016.  Created by Charlie tree Hughes. Girl in a wheelchair with long hair looking outwards towards the reader.  Through the comic she describes a 5 step process of putting your hair up with a vacuum cleaner nozzle.

Disability Reality Television


Hellooooooo There Everyone. 
Seems I was missing for a few months on here: but truth be told, I became addicted to instagram.  (follow me @charlietreehouse) 

This month's comic was inspired by the different realities of people living with and without disabilities,  (ab=able bodied.) in changing rooms.  I don't know about you, but trying on clothes is something I almost dread, depending on how much physical assistance I am having.  Trying on, getting dressed over and over is physically exhausting, so I rarely partake.  Once I get dressed it's pretty much over for me for the whole day, I'm wearing the outfit.  (of course that is not to say that I never change, something may be impossible to live with for any numerous amount of reasons) It seems to me, from observations of AB people my entire life, and in the culture of bodily perfection I've become witness, that many AB people change there outfits multiple times per day.  Sometimes I think of the amount of time and effort it would take me personally to change clothes the same amount of times the average, and then shake my head, "no way".

SC's at it again...

As "Crips" we get asked all sorts of silly questions.  This weeks post is in response to: "Were you born in a wheelchair?"
