For #DisabilityPrideMonth!
Some common situations disabled people experience, for some of us it’s a daily occurrence. Please support the disabled community; we need allies all the time, not just once a year! eg only on ____ Awareness Day or Week, for woke points, etc.
This took me about a week, I would’ve added a couple more panels but I’d reached my limit.

The leopard & unicorn are having a conversation over the dragon’s head.
It’s incredibly rude & demeaning to do so; we’re not a box of pizza or a prop.
If you’re talking *to* a wheelchair user, stand in front, but don’t bend or lean down: that’s condescending and is something people typically do with little kids. If you’re just talking to someone else and the wheelchair user isn’t a part of that conversation, don’t talk above us.

How is the situation hard to understand?
It is incredibly rude to hold a conversation above a person sitting in a wheelchair, regardless of whether the disabled person is a part of the conversation.
If they are included, you need to stand in front of them. Not behind, not to the side, and neither do you lean across them- as depicted in my comic.
Disabled people are considered an exception to that most basic of etiquette rules. You don’t twist or lean around someone to speak to a third person. You move away, and occupy another space. Disabled people aren’t inanimate objects, a baby in a pram, or a dog on a leash. We don’t want ableds pretending ‘oh, they can’t hear us / eh, they won’t mind’.
If you don’t get it after all this, then you’re just picking apart my comic just because you can.
