I swear I'm not making fun of those less fortunate and confined to wheelchairs. However, I am mocking this lady because she wasn't actually cripple, just really lame.This beauty was sit-walking her way down the side walk near the down town library. The concentration, fervor, and seriousness that was on her face as she was "suck-puffin" convinced me that if she were to stop smoking she would actually die. The craziest part was the speed at which she did it. I could liken it to the heart rate and metabolism of a shrew.
And as this little Casey Jr. passed and continued down her track I was compelled to turn and salute her caboose for fumigating the day. I watched her quietly scoot away with rapid puffs of yellow smoke pulling at her shoulders and hair... and then I listened. (Shhh) I swear I could hear the driving cadence of, "...tumor, tumor, tumor, tumor..." fading in the wind.

Excellent! I love the writing too... which is little surprise since you're a writer. I hadn't thought of her as a train before... that's a nice comparison. I love the drawing. More "inspired by life" sketches, please.
cracking me up. Since reading your post, I've been hearing the chanting "tumor" song everywhere.
great character.
Hahaha! I see this very lady all the time on 21st South, you've really captured her essence, nice job...
