Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
Before you comment
The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
They can pay like everybody else. Just cause your handicapped or old doesn’t mean you get everything for free….stupid cartoon, again.
Hey, it worked in Bataan.
and Bataan gave us the excuse for Hiroshima. So everybody is happy.
This cartoon is fine art compared to the other one.
Having decent legs in the mountains is something far too many people take for granted. This is proof of that: the cartoonist has never had to worry about how far he can walk without fatigue or pain.
I challenge you to spend a day in a wheelchair without using your legs AT ALL, then come back and tell me handicapped people are just looking for a handout with accessible parking.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t believe that was the cartoonist’s intention.

Yeah, I think he was expressing sympathy for the handicapped people, not making light of their situation.
This cartoon is obviously from the mind of an effete intellectual who mocks us with his superior intellect and humor. I demand he be replaced with Family Circle reruns!

See, it’s funny ’cause he thinks like a person does, and has thought bubbles that are funny, like a funny person would be.
