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!

Security! Security! Grab that girl!
[Image: Colorful picture of a girl in a wheelchair being pushed through airport security with other passengers waiting in line behind all staring at the girl being pushed. Security officer asks, "Can she walk through the body scanner". ]
Ok, so I've been on a short hiatus, well one month, sorry about that. It's been a crazy adventure and I was able to travel from Texas to Atlanta to present SuperCripComic at the Critical Juncture Conference at Emory University. It was awesome getting to share my comic with new people, and meet some readers.
If you can't tell, I was inspired by my trip in this Issue of SuperCrip. Airports are certainly not the friendliest or most accessible places for people with disability, with some airports better than others *cough* (Atlanta)
It is not the question the security officer asks, but rather who he asks the question too. Some people who use wheelchairs maybe able to take a few steps "through the scanner", but they can also most likely find appreciation of being addresses like a normal person. This erasure of individual happens in conjunction of being the "spectacle" in the line, that no one can take there eyes off.
