Okay, I hope this isn’t the original cartoonist (and if it is it’s great and you shouldn’t feel bad) but I’m going to get up on my soapbox for a bit.
Guys- this is what we mean by the need for positive representation. You think of three characters who we think of as having asthma and who do we get- three bad guys.
Can you think of a good guy with asthma? The closest I can get is Raistlin and I love him to bits, but he’s no good guy.
How do you think that makes a kid feel, when they’re diagnosed with asthma?
