Emylle on Wheels – Episode #4
Emylle on Wheels opening panel by Milene Correa
English Text:
In this comics Emylle, our heroine, who’s a woman in a wheelchair with curly, short hair sits beside a friendly lion who shows her around the place. The lion greets her, “Oh Emylle, you’re gonna love it in here!”
Emylle smiles while the lion speaks but her smile soon fades when she notices him going up a set of stairs.
Distracted, the lion keeps walking and talking. With a foot on the stairs, he starts, “We’ve been working on our accessibility. Come this way you’re gonna love it.”
The lion encourages Emylle by saying “You’re not following, sweetheart, come on!” He keeps talking and going up the stairs, leaving an incredulous Emylle behind.
