Hello all - I have started a collection of comics acquired over time that
specifically relate to prosthetics, orthotics, disabilities and
health/insurance issues surrounding these issues. I have a collection of
several dozen to date and have them in a simple foto album. (the Doonesbury
strip with the C-leg stuff is an example). My plan is to compile them over
time, get permission and publish them with all proceeds going to an entity
to be determined. Most likely O&P education, legislative or patient advocacy
related. It is dependent upon the response received and the number I can be
printed. I have an acquaintance/author/patient that has published several
books and has offered to assist. I think it could make some very
entertaining waiting room reading for patients, casting humor on some
difficult times.
My request to the group is that you scan and forward any/all prosthetic,
Orthotic, disability, insurance related comic strips and or text based jokes
to the following email;
<Email Address Redacted>
Please use the highest resolution possible and attach your contact info. I
intend to list all contributors and intend to get appropriate
pre-publication releases from the original author/publishers.
I'll keep the group informed as to progress. My goal would be to complete by
year end.
