Emylle on Wheels, Web Comic – She’ll Walk Before I Do
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 enthusiastically chatting with a tiger who holds a baby in her arms.
Smiling, the tiger says, “Look, Emylle! My baby sits and stands on her own!”
Emylle replies with a smile that is just as bright and says, “Wow! She’ll walk before I do!”
Panel 2: The tiger, with a very shocked expression, takes a minute to understand.
Panel 3: Finally, with a light-hearted smile, the tiger says, “You’re joking, yeah?”
Emylle replies with a friendly, “Yes, I am.”
