Sober Solitude

Sober Solitude

Exshcushe me.

(Drunk again…)

Exshcushe me.

Route A/2X3.14

(Still hitting the bottle)

Exshcushe me.

Is he drunk or something? I heard he was sick, is all.

Hi Mr B! We hardly ever see you out in public — why’s that?

I shtay home becaush eberbod shinks I’m drunk — not zhat I have CP.

Oh, Mr B! Your real friends know you don’t drink!

We know you aren’t drunk! You have a condition right?

I hope you enjoy these and I would really appreciate your spreading the word. My stories are spread by word-of-mouth so this is the way that others might also see them.

This strip was published before as “Wheel Tales of We’ll Make Cents” but we thought it would be better to publish more independently — hence the change in venue and name.

Some people thought this one was a bit controversial, because they missed an important part of the strip. Mr B isn’t drunk, he has CP – Cerebral Palsy — one of a number of conditions that can make a person appear as if they were intoxicated or high. The point is that there are many disabilities that are not obvious. Some might make someone look like they are drunk, others don’t look like anything at all, but restrict how a person might live and whether they even get out in public.

We were originally published in “We’ll Make Cents“. They are an organization that helps support a number of not-for-profit causes which might get overlooked. Why not pop over and give them a look

Donations are actually hard to come by for Charities and other not-for-profit organizations. Consider what you might be able to donate. It might be a good time to clean that closet, attic, cellar, shed, or garage! You might have someone else’s next treasured possession. Perhaps you don’t live near Auckland and We’ll Make Cents, but there are people in need everywhere!
