@wwjbd33 You’re so welcome! I’m relieved you spotted the post! I’ll have the dexcom one up by this evening. 
Hope it brings him a smile!

@capo-mage As someone else who doesn’t do much with social media these days, I gotta agree! Thanks to mods and fellow fans, this is one of the most supportive and welcoming communities I’ve ever seen. I’m glad I could contribute a little to spreading the DC

@TravisMorgan 
It actually comes from the title of a goofy anime instrumental track that I liked ages ago. And it helps me keep my cool, shifty-eyed exterior. 
@biff_pow Ty, biff! That’d be nice if it did!
@msgtv I’m more of a campy sidekick, but I try! I hope it reaches anyone it could help.
@MissInkBlot Thank ya! Sentiments on the community much returned!

Thank u @MissInkBlot. I agree 100%. @CynicalPink is a true testament to everything you applauded. I know I’m repetitive, but all of you created such a great platform. This being my only experience in social media has been more then I could’ve envisioned. I’ve heard the horror stories & this forum is the exact opposite of everything I’ve heard social media can unfortunately be if not done properly. Nothing but love from all involved. Just the way it should be.

Me and my wife are planning on printing it and framing it before showing my son. I am going to try and get a reaction video/photo as I am pretty sure he will be super excited.

Aww, that’s awesome! Kids are the toughest critics. Hope he likes it. 
And here’s the Dexcom one. Kind of a hybrid comics/TTG Cy
(ps: Thanks to @AntLeon and @Don-El for lending me their eyes when hashing out the base of this one!)

This reminds me how Aerie has a model with an ileostomy pouch and has striven to have a include more diverse group of models than just ethnicity and body type. Representing groups like those with diabetes, which is a large population, should be DCs next objective for representation on the page and screen.

@MissGsptlsnz 100% agree! When it comes to discussions on creating diversity in modern media, I feel like those with different physical challenges or needs are often forgotten. I still miss Oracle, for that reason.

And it would be easier to incorporate in comics because they’re they’re mutants and aliens and part robot, so there’s plenty of space for them to be creative.
Like with cyborg and an insulin pump, he couldn’t have diabetes before his accident or his pancreas was damaged, so when the motherbox/fatherbox/technology is bound to him, it must include a pump to keep him alive. A simple design inclusion and easy character addition that could resonate with so many readers. We all want to see ourselves in media and will look for whatever parts we can identify with.
Not to mention, what some people would call a disability, members of that group would say differently like the deaf community. They have formed a strong community where they have a culture and language. A common theme in comics is taking what makes you different and seeing it as a gift that makes you you. X-men do this really well and it’s make the stories so much stronger (they’re the best of marvel).

If I read or watch ANYTHING Marvel, it definitely x-men. I can’t stand the rest.

@MissGsptlsnz I wonder if part of the industry’s hesitation involves uncertainty of how to handle the subjects. It’s worth taking the time to explore, though. Maybe it’s something that can be brought up during another DCU Q&A one of these days.
