Also, I will recommend your site to my best friend Ms. Hita who leads a pretty interesting life in her wheelchair in Hong Kong”
— Philine Bracht
“Nice comic about the boxer and the low blows. Reminds me of a. golota. How about hot rod powered wheel-chair racers entering in a lawn mower race against a bunch of Tim Allen wannabes”

“one of my best friends, matt, is in a wheelchair and we are both in the 10th grade at harrison high. i think that it is great that our school allows kids with disabilities to be in normal classes. in middle school they were not allowed to be in normal class and we never got to know them. i think that if we are exposed to disabilities in schoool and life at an early age, there would not be as much teasing and nonunderstanding when they get older.”
— Kourtney “Kourt” Spaulding
“Love the 'toons. I'm a polio survivor (had it in '57 and made a pretty good recovery). I've been ambulatory for the last 44 years, but had to start using a manual chair (Quickie Triumph) about two months ago due to PPS. Just a couple of days after I started using the chair, I was hot-dogging down the sidewalk in the dark and hit a crack. Are you aware that the distance a person lands from the wheelchair is in direct proportion to the speed he's traveling when the chair stops abruptly? Anyway, the next night I ran across (Oops, I said "ran." Hope that doesn't offend the 'phobes.) your site and the "Cracks Kill" 'toon is now up on the refrigerator. I'm a young, healthy 50 (I just don't walk so good), and I get a real kick out of Leeder. I'm not the least bit offended by the fact that you're not disabled and think the 'phobes need to get a life. Hell, I wouldn't go out and sign up for polio, but things are what they are and in the very short time I've been a wheelchair user I've managed to do some pretty funny stuff. Lighten up, 'phobes, life's too short to take yourself so seriously.”
— Michael Healer

— Carlos “turtleboy” Perez
“Great site, I just love those cartoons, a very beautiful way to lighten up ones day.”
— Batstone “baty” Pramod
“I live in Scotland, near Edinburgh, and I am about to develop my helpline for children with a disability and their parents (called Signpost) from a part-time service at home to a full-time service in an office (yippee!). We are looking for ways to decorate the office with images that will cheer people up, and maybe make them think a little, and your cartoons do both. May we reproduce some of them, with full credit and copyright info on them, of course? Please e-mail me and let me know if this is ok. By the way, I followed the link from "funny as a crutch" to find you. Thanks for your help, and keep 'em coming!”
— Lesley Mount
“I had some great fun here! I hope you don't mind (if so tell me please) but i've taken a few of your cartoons and put them at my site (at the R(l)olstoel humor = Wheelchairfun section) of course with the credits you disurve and with a link to your website. I hope you'll keep making lots and lots more of these great cartoons. Greetings from the Netherlands”
— Anita “blixi” Groot

“Hi Leeder, I am an integration Coordiantor for the town of Ajax and my primary responsibility is to provide inclusive recreational opportunities for everyone. I am now designing some brochures and training manuals. I would like permission to use some of your inspirational carttoons to emphasize my points and increase the awareness of the community. My brochures must go to print by Nov 19th so any answer as soon as possible would be greatly appreciated. I could include you're web site on the brochure so that they can enjoy all of your work.”
— Kelly Gravelle
“Great job! Keep up the good work. Here's something that really happened to me before I retired. Feel free to use it for a cartoon. This happened about 1979. I was doing industrial training for Tektronix inc. at the time. (I've been a paraplegic since 1958, age 17). Was returning from lunch with a friend, Gary, who is a little outspoken, when we found my reserved handicap space occupied. I Parked in an unoccupied space nearby and was wheeling into the building when the owner of the illegally parked car came out. He looked at me and said, I took your parking space didn't I?". Before I could say anything, Gary said, "That's alright, illiteracy is a handicap..." The guy never said a another word. Just got to heck out of there.”
— Steve Gentis
“Great cartoons, some are to close for comfort.”
— Dennis
“Keep on ripping it up! Good stuff man.”
— “ThinhThang”
“I know you are not disabled, but your humor is appropriate and just simply funny. As a T-4 paraplegic, I don't have a problem saying that. My only sports are hunting and fishing, but hey, you can't have everything (that is, if you don't want it..).! Keep it up!”
— Tow W. “Bud” Resse, Jr.
“We need more people like you! Keep up the good work!”
— Jennifer “360”
“This site is mad, i love it!!!”
— Hugh “Nine” Anderson
“Awesome comix! Never have I met someone with a sense of humour and adventure so close to my own. Too bad he's a comic character! Way to go Leeder and Lytles!”
— Jocelyn “JT”
“This site is great! I almost fell out of bed reading it tonight. The scene where he catapulted from his chair by a piece of gum was hilarious. I've come really close to that with pebbles and such. I love Leeder's almost unconcious "Can Do" in the face of others' incredulity. Thanks for keeping my perspective a little more positive.”
— Ken
“Would it hurt your feelings if I said that I have made you the officical toon of my website. I always look forward to more adventures!”
— Michael “Mike” True
“This the first time I saw the cartoon and I thought some of them where quite funny.”
— Cindy “Butterfly”
“I think your cartoons are great.”
— Don Miller
“I just thought I would thank you for being the first person I have heard of, to make a joke about "disabled" people. My daughter has a condition called arthrogryposis which restricts movement of all limbs. She is four and in a wheelchair. I am glad to know that she will have a good role models to not take herself so seriouslly. Thank You.”
— Jessica Curtis
“Nice site! Stacy Kohut is very inspiring to me.”
— Garrett “The Viking” Preikschas
“As a disabled young adult and soon to be special educator, I adore your cartoons and applaud your efforts!”
— Jaime Lyn “Alpha” Ade
“I found out about this website while perusing through Occupational Therapy Now Magazine. It's great to see this information and humour on the world wide web. I will definitely recommend it to my O.T. colleagues.”
— Roland Castillo
“John and Claire, Leeder O. Men is funny enough, well drawn enough, and real enough to belong in mainstream daily newspapers. I'm going to send copies of your work to the Detroit Free Press. Keep up the good work. The Disability Nation needs people like you and Leeder.”
— Kim “BearWheelz” Hetrick
“Hi John, I have been here many times. But I wanted to pop in to say you play a good guitar. Just listened to "Small Craft Advisory" and it was great. Keep it up.”
— John “John Kay” Kozakiewicz
“I applaud your sense of decency. Too many Americans think that if you change the name of the condition, you somehow change the condition. Calling a disabled person "differently-abled" is an insult to my sensabilities. You should read the book, "The Millionaire's Secrets" by Mark Fisher. It is a work of fiction that chronicles the trials of a young businessman who finds himself suddenly paralyzed from the waist down, and becomes immensely successful because his disability forces his mind to grow beyond that of which it would have otherwise been capable. It's a good read.”
— John “Andromida” Poling
“As a disabled american in France it is a shock to find such an interesting comic available.”
— Howard Bush
“Thanks for having a website that shows the bright side of being disabled. It's nice to know that there is a place where I can come to and get a laugh when things get to that point!”
— Miles R. “Smiley” Murphrey
