“Why do we need Disability Pride?”

A comic I made for Disability Pride. Under the keep reading is an in-depth image description of the comic. 

Keep reading

Adding the Image Description back in so it’s not under a cut, to make it more accessible. The below Image Description is taken directly from the ReadMore and was not written by me.

[description one: a seven-panel comic titled ‘Why do we need Disability Pride?’ where two ignorant able-bodied people have their misconceptions about disability challenged. at the end of the comic, they are involved in the community.

[description two: A text at the beginning of the comic reads, “Why do we need Disability Pride?” Beneath that is a balanced scale with two people sitting on either side. On one side is Ekam, a Sikh man wearing a turban, button-up, and khakis. Above it reads, “Ekam is uncomfortable around disabled people.” On the other side of the scale is Bailey, a fat white woman wearing a long-sleeved shirt, tights, and a carrier purse which are all purple. Above her it reads, “Bailey thinks every disabled person is an inspiration.” To either side of them are panels providing examples of how their ableism manifests.

To the left of Ekam is a panel of him speaking to a coworker, Alazaye, a fat Black woman with half-up hair buns in a wheelchair wearing a tank top and jean shorts. Ekam looks unsettled, but polite. In a speech bubble above him he says, “So.. uh,… hey..” Imposed over-top of his dialogue is Alazaye’s thought bubble that reads, “he’s only awkward around me..” while looking away, frustrated.

To the right of Bailey is a panel of her speaking to a stranger, Caden, a white man with facial and limb differences due to burns using arm crutches. He is wearing a t-shirt and long-sleeved shirt with jeans. Bailey is touching his shoulder comfortingly while saying, “it’s so BRAVE of you to be OUTSIDE!” Caden is looking at her directly while scowling, but not speaking.

In the next panel is a landscape of a Disability Pride parade. Two people in mobility scooters are leading the parade while carrying a banner of zigzag Disability Pride Flag. On the left side of the banner is a fat East Asian woman wearing a blouse with her hair up. On the right is a dark-skinned Black woman with locs, self-harm scars, and Plexiform neurofibromas on her face wearing a bucket hat and t-shirt. Around them are other disabled people and allies carrying signs or celebrating in the street. Above the panel it reads, “Disability Prides in America have been held since 1990 when the ADA was signed.” Below it reads, “The work of disabled activists during the month encourages others to break down bias they may have towards those with disabilities.”

In the next panel Ekam approaches a group of people within the parade, smiling and waving nervously. In the foreground of the illustration is Ruben, a South Asian enby waving to Ekam with one of their prosthetic arms. Caden from before is standing beside Ekam wearing a sunhat to protect his eyes. Below the panel it reads, “Be brave and reach out.”

In the next panel Bailey listens to a white redheaded woman wearing goth clothes in a wheelchair speak while Ernie, a chubby Black man with a high-top fade wearing an autistic infinity t-shirt and jeans, is prompting Bailey to listen to the other. Above the panel it reads, “Really listen to what we have to say.”

In the final panel, Ekam and Bailey are engaging with and listening to their disabled friends at the parade. Ekam is telling a joke to Ruben in the left corner of the panel, Caden is listening to Ernie infodump about his special interest in the middle, and to the right Alazaye is joined hands with Bailey while looking at each other romantically. Above the group it reads, “You’ll begin to see what we’ve been trying to show you.” Below the group it reads, “WE ARE DISABLED!” Then outside the panel it reads in italics, “NOT DISPOSABLE.”

What

No for real this is a whole webcomic and it’s worth checking out

Also this

It’s an insane series. It started with a joke comic ‘what if scooby doo had a gun’ and developed into a sprawling sci-fi action series with epic fights. The last one I read (current that I know of right now) is a fight between Dexter from Dexter’s lab, fighting Foghorn Leghorn from looney toons.

Also Foghorn Leghorn has become catholic

Courage the cowardly dog becomes a sexy shonen man

“you have mental illness” actually i don’t, those are just unfortunate side effects from using the powers from my amulet to often. such power deranges a man.

are you ice king

Show host on the conservative Newsmax network

All of this guy’s political views are insane but he’s rapidly becoming one of my favorite Twitter accounts

This should be the only broadcast journalist in America

My favorite thing that’s ever happened in an art class is that this weird pen artist (who was notorious for a) drawing body horror and b) bringing bananas to class in the front pocket of his shirt) was once like “wait let me draw you” and proceeded to sketch the most fucked up charicature you’ve ever seen. He told me I had serial killer eyes and a nose that “looked too much like a nose”

In early 2019 we went to an art competition together and at the end of the day we went to the convention hotel lobby and he drank seven consecutive cups of their complimentary lemonade while the front desk hostess looked on in silent woe

Going to have to call this mf up and tell him that my followers want his whole ass I guess
