Cripples at Christmas Cartoons 2019


The Cripples at Christmas collection 2019! I hope you enjoy and share with your friends. An image description is below each image



Day 1: The wheelies asked NORAD to spend their resources tracking missing paratransit buses instead of Santa
 
A letter says “Dear Santa, We know you’re coming but we can’t say the same about paratransit. Thus, we’ve asked NORAD to track them instead. Sincerely, Every Disabled Person Ever   *NORAD= North American Aerospace Defense Command; they are the creators of a classic Santa tracker website

Day 2: Unlike the Christmas commercial in which a woman finds a new car waiting outside, the wheelie looked out the window to find a behemoth shipment of catheters

A wheelchair user stick figure looks out the window by a Christmas tree and sees a large box with a bow from Coloplast, a catheter supplier. She says “OK, well, they put a bow on it at least.”

Day 3: When he had to take Access-A-Ride to Whoville, a very late Grinch had to settle for stealing Easter…
The Grinch stands near an Access-A-Ride bus and says “This has been really anti-climactic.”

Day 4: The “Aging with CP” grab bag was full of gifts nobody asked for…

Three wheelie stick figures have speech bubbles. One says “I got arthritis in the grab bag!” The others say “I got scoliosis!” and “Hip dysplasia! I was hoping for a Starbucks card or at least a crappy box of candy! *CP= cerebral palsy

Day 5: The chronic pain Christmas carolers serenaded the town with their hit song “Ow Christmas Tree.” 


Lyrics are surrounded by music notes, “Ow Christmas tree, ow Christmas tree, how achy are your branches!” A nearby wheelie says, “This song is a real pick me up!”

Day 6: After taking a course in Disability Studies, the Misfit Toys realized they didn’t need to be rescued by Santa.

A train with square wheels says “The social model really rocked my world.” A spotted elephant remarks “Go ahead Santa! I already have plans for Christmas.” He holds a sign reading “Misfit and Proud!”

Day 7: And for another year, they argued. Were they Santa’s Elves or Santa’s People with Elfism?

An ambulatory elf wearing a hat stands in a group of similarly dressed figures, both ambulatory and wheeling. A wheeling elf sighs “Oh boy. Here we go again!”

Day 8: The durable medical equipment shop piece for the magical mantelpiece Christmas village didn’t sell as well as we’d hoped

A wheelchair user stick figure says “Come on! Nothing says Christmas like waiting for a backordered chair part.” They sit by a fireplace with stockings hung

Day 9: Eager to find a more inclusive name for the annual secret Santa exchange, the wheelies settled quickly on Gimpy Gifter

A wheelchair user stick figure in a Santa hat holds a present. Another says excitedly “It really captures our essence! I don’t know why we waited so long to change the name.”

Day 10: The gingerbread man was left with a massive leg length discrepancy after the family dog bit off part of his leg…

One gingerbread person says “Ouch dude, we were supposed to be decorative.” A gingerbread man with a shortened leg replies “Oh well, I can get a shoe lift!”

Day 11: 
Eager to get better health insurance, the Elf on the Shelf quit his job with Santa and began a new position surveilling SSI recipients

 Two wheelchair user stick figures sit by a fireplace. A nosy Elf on the Shelf says “You made 5 cents! I’m telling!”

Day 12: No one knew how to blow a New Year’s resolution quite like paratransit
