There’s an important distinction between “in a wheelchair” and “wheelchair-bound”.
“In a wheelchair” may be temporary. It may be only for certain activities. The woman at A-Sig may indeed be only “in a wheelchair”.
“Wheelchair-bound” is permanent and full-time. My cousin is wheelchair-bound, and he doesn’t mind anyone using that term. He’s been like that for going on 40 years. The only times he’s not in his chair are when he’s sleeping, showering, or sitting on the toilet. He even drives his van from his wheelchair. Yes, he is wheelchair-bound, but he’s taken his disability by the horns and wrestled it to the ground… all while sitting in that chair.
I never thanked you for this link, Towering Barbarian. Followed it when originally posted, got hooked on the comic, and completely forgot how I came across it. Then the circle closed during my latest Skin Horse archive binge…
Crimson Claw was a great strip, hated to see it end, but they went out on a definite high note. So thanks for leading me to it!
Does “shoe workarounds” refer to finding ways to avoid Jonah’s experience reincarnating/resetting to that boring training in Anasigma’s shoe polishing protocol when his do-loop reset every time he died?
…Seems a bit tactless (or a very sick joke) to ask someone who uses a wheelchair about “shoe workarounds”, since she’s rolling around in something that could be considered a shoe workaround.
Why do they get kids in there? Also I just realized that she’s wheelchair bound.
Take Your Daughter to Work Day?
It’s better to not use that term. http://www.newmobility.com/2015/09/dont-say-wheelchair-bound/
“in a wheelchair” has two letters less. I don’t get why people stopped using that

This is an Anasigma facility. It is entirely possible she is permanently attached to a cyborg chair.
I don’t get her last line… is she saying she shouldn’t ask about shoe workarounds because there could be kids nearby? Or what?
They put pillows on the death traps to protect kids.
Ah, it sounds like they consulted the same sort of professionals the Crimson Claw did. ^_^

The Crimson Claw wishes he could consult such professionals.

Well, the lady is wearing shoes. I think it’s in reference to A-Sig’s tortuous extirpation-grade shoe-polishing regulations.
And A-Sig is *precisely* the sort of place where they’d zoom in on people in wheelchairs when it came time to snap shoe inspections.
…yes, WHY do they get kids in there?
And are ovens and gingerbread involved?
Only if the kids fail the background check.
Pretty sure the kids in question are our own intrepid adventurers from the previous storyline in the Anasigma facility
Somehow I feel that is unlikely. The facility they broke into no longer exists, thanks to Grandma Swamp.
Getting infiltrated by a couple of teenagers isn’t the kind of security breach that you share with your other locations… or even with your superiors.
Why does Ginny need shoe workarounds? She’s pretty clearly never going back to Anasigma at this point.
A true professional strives to keep all her options open even when she does not intend to use them at the present moment. ^_^
Our heroes need to keep up the pretense of being an Anasigma team as long as possible, and as ex-Anasigma, Ginny’s in a good position to do that.
I suppose they don’t know her personally.
Basic rule: if it’s not specifically forbidden, it must be assumed that you have every right to do it. That’s how baseball created stolen bases.
Do you think Anasigma has a rule to do with pistol-whipping your boss? If there isn’t something general about messing with vital safety equipment…
Well, everybody who knew about Ira and Virginia were supposed to be killed by spiky robot limbs. These ones must not have known.
I like this particular ASig location.
This place has too many ways to not-die!
Destroying small children is one of the things Anasigma does best! But every organization has its weak links.
They’re entirely too pleasant and reasonable. I don’t trust it.
