    Them not being able to read it is probably offensive in itself! You should stop making comics altogether before you get lynched by blind people! D:

      This is in the same vein of making fun of Amish folks. It’s not like they’re going to see it – unless someone prints it out and brings it to them, I suppose.

        But would the amish read it? Isn’t something printed, like, the devil’s work or something?

          If it’s not hand-crafted, then it surely comes from devilish magic!

          They read the Bible, they read textbooks in school, and surely other things… come on, folks. They even use electricity if they generate it themselves with wind or water power. They just don’t want to be beholden to big outside forces like utility companies and gasoline refiners.

            Maybe, instead of printing it, someone just redrew it?…

    One of my friends is legally blind but has a small amount of vision, enough that it’s actually useful. She CAN read webcomics, if she blows the size up to “I have a very large monitor, and I can fit about half of one panel on my monitor at a time.”

    So, you’re not as safe as you might think.

    Also, you could put the webcomic text and a description in alt-text and hovertext, which would make the comic usable with a screen reader, and make it ADA compliant. Or just do an ascii transcript.

      Whoa! This strip isn’t ADA Compliant? Adam! For shame! Install a ramp this instant! Oh, and start painting some Wheelchair logos in your parking spots right away. I’d hate to see you get a fine.

    I am blind, and I would find this offensive, if I knew what the hell is going on here.*

    (*Note: I am not actually blind. I was mocking blind people in the interest of equality.)

    You have forgotten the biggest legal issue with this strip:
    Justice is blind.

    Speaking as a Half Sigheted person (technicaly I am a Bi Optical Cyclops) as I am blind in one eye… I laughed but then Im going to hell for so many other things the devil is building new Levels JUST to accomodate me. And to keep me from applying for his assistants job.

    As a compromise, you could mock people with glaucoma or macular degeneration.

    Just like the blind people, I don’t see anything wrong with this strip.
    It’s sad that they can’t see it to admit its funny.

    Generally speaking, it’s wrong to make fun out of sick people, unless such ailment can be easily defeated and produces no permanent side effects. If you don’t see why bullying is wrong, that’s a strong indicator that you need to spend time with sick people. Work your empathy mr huber.

    I like how even the Devil appears aghast at the drawing.

      Technically the Devil is a good guy though. Since he punishes bad people and stuff.

    Being one step away from “legally blind” from macular degeneration, I can state: being blind isn’t funny, but mocking the blind in the interest of equality is. During the final inspection of an apartment I was vacating, the inspector said “All good except for the food in the fridge.” I said, “There’s no food in the fridge!” Inspector: “Oh, yes there is!” I checked. “Oops!” Inspector: “Even Stevie Wonder could have seen that!” I’m still laughing.
