Emylle on Wheels, Web Comic –Accessibility Isn’t Just a Ramp
Image by Milene Correia and Emylle Torres
Panel 1: A rat wearing chef’s clothes greets us by saying, “We’re all for accessibility! There’s a ramp!”
Panel 2: Emylle, our heroine, is a girl who uses a wheelchair and who has short, curly hair and is wearing a blue-and-white-striped bodysuit. She suddenly appears and says, unamused, “There’s a table in the middle of the ramp.”
Panel 3: Offended, the chef-rat replies, “Well, if there were no tables, there’d be no customers.”
