Disability Cartoon Collaborations

Sure Hands Lifts | United Spinal Association | Accessible Hunter

I’ve had the opportunity to team up with some incredible disability brands to create cartoons that spark laughter, conversation, and connection. This page showcases those collaborative projects where humor meets advocacy and accessibility shares the spotlight with a side of sarcasm.

Sure Hands Lifts

If you’ve ever had a spinal cord injury, chances are you’ve had to use some sort of lifting system to get in and out of bed. Most paraplegics and low-level quadriplegics can learn to transfer on their own, but for quadriplegics like myself, we rely on various lifting systems for our transfers. This is my interpretation of how it feels to be transferred in a sling, from my perspective and my wife’s.

Wrecking Ball

A comic strip titled 'How It Looks vs. How It Feels,' featuring two pairs of panels. The top left shows a caregiver helping a person in a wheelchair with a transfer sling. The top right depicts the same scene but with a humorous expression, suggesting feelings of chaos. The bottom left continues the same theme with different characters, while the bottom right shows a woman in a construction helmet, reinforcing the humorous contrast of appearances versus feelings.

In the next panel, the person reacts to a surprising noise while the dog is confused and ends up not running away as instructed.

Ceiling lifts have been a lifesaver for me and for my wife’s back. I’m forever grateful to have had access to my Sure Hands ceiling lift, and I’m thankful that they appreciate my cartoons enough to want to collaborate.
