Emylle on Wheels, Web Comic – Different Traits
Image by Milene Correia and Emylle Torres
Panel 1: 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’s surprised by a rat coming out of the ground.
With a sad expression, he says, “Oh, Emylle! I’m so sorry for you, dear. You’ve got a disability.”
Panel 2: With a blank expression, Emylle replies, “Could be worse. I could pity people because of their different traits…but that would be ableism. Not cool.”
The rat opens his eyes very wide in shock.
Panel 3: With a softer, ashamed expression, he says, “Oh, got it!”
