Cartoonist Dies at 59: “John Callahan, a quadriplegic, alcoholic cartoonist whose work in newspapers and magazines made irreverent, impolitic sport of people with disabilities and diseases and those who would pity and condescend to them, died Saturday in Portland, Ore. He was 59 and lived in Portland.” (NYTimes.com obituary)

M R.Callahan,s humor was a significant support to me in my role in the mental health field.
I am grateful for the way he shared his own experiences and humility thru his humor.
