Emylle on Wheels, Web Comic – Paralympic Boccia
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 holding a golden trophy with a big number 1 on it. Smiling, she says to us, “I just won a paralympic boccia match! I got gold! It’s made my day!”
Panel 2: A tiger in a wheelchair appears, with a large Band-Aid on his head. Unamused, he says, “But Emylle, you hit me on the head.”
Panel 3: With a very satisfied smile, Emylle replies, “Like I said, it’s made my day!”
The tiger side-eyes her.
