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.

Dun nun nun nun nah . . .

This weeks blog is a tribute to my favorite cartoon when I was a wee one.  It's easy to see why a little crip-kid would love this show.  Although the Inspector was clumsy and limited by his physical attributes, he had any tool to immediately help him in any given situation.  I still want that jacket.
