“Hi John, I really enjoy your toons and was wondering if you ever will do any related to wheelchair rugby? It's a pretty aggressive sport and might make for a some great strips. Leeder caught in the middle of a rugby game would be a great place for him to take out his aggression. I'd like to feature them on my web site if you ever pen any up. We get tons of quad traffic as the web is mainly devoted to wheelchair rugby.”
— John Bishop
“Love it! Sometimes the only thing that can get person through life is a little humor. If you don't mind, I would like to add you to my section on disabilities. I hope to be able to find the time to read some of my stories later. All true that we can now laugh at.”
— Robin
“Hello! I'm a 23 years old girl living in Sweden. I have had a spinal cord injury since I was born. I'm only writing to tell you that I loved your cartoons. Both the pictures and the text where very funny.”
— Linnea Forssell
“John, Leeder O. Men is AWESOME! I laughed and enjoyed myself silly. The creativeness you have put into the strip is fantastic. I've been in a chair due to a motocross racing accident when I was 18. I just turned 33, so it's been almost 15 years. After my injury, I went onto college and now work as a tutor. The kids I tutor wonder about the chair and what it's like being in one. I enjoy their wanting to understand and try my best to give them open, honest answers - also a funny anecdote helps them understand. What you are doing is wonderful! Keep up the good work. Again, Wonderful work!”

“Mr. Lytle, Hi, my name is Bryan Pratt, and I'm the editor-in-chief of this year's "Sigma Signs", an annual University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign magazine written by Delta Sigma Omicron (the university's disabled student organization) and the Division of Rehabilitation-Education Services. I was wondering if you would grant permission for me to use some of your Leeder O. Men comic strips in my magazine. Sigma Signs is basically an annual magazine written by some students and faculty at the University of Illinois. The magazine mainly discusses DSO's events, wheelchair athletics, and disability issues. This year's theme of the magazine will be "Expectations of the Future-Removing Architectural, Educational, and Attitudinal Barriers". I would like to include your comics to add humor to the magazine. What I really would like is a comic that somehow is related to the theme. Any more questions? Please let me know. Thank”
— Bryan Pratt
“John, Leeder is great! I'm currently designing an off-road wheelchair in the graduate industrial design program at Arizona State U. and ran across your stuff. It brought me great pleasure. I hope the book gets published. Keep up the mind-freeing work! Thanks!”
— David Meis
“John, I really enjoyed your stuff on the web pages. If you have the time to keep up with such messages, please email me when your book is available, I would like it for my 5 year old. She is still young enough to see a wheelchair as something fun (I'm a doctor and take her sometimes on my nursing home rounds because the old folks get such a kick out of seeing kids and she gets a kick out of joy riding a wheelchair) and I like to keep that attitude in her and keep her from developing a reflex reaction of pity or revulsion when she meets disabled persons. Anyway, if you can't email everyone, I'll check your page from time to time...”
