"Don't Worry; He Won't Get Far on Foot" on Prime Video

[milestogo]

I have to admit I avoided this movie in the listing because the title did not appeal to me.

I watched it yesterday, and what a pleasant surprise. Its based on a true story.

Alcoholic cartoonist John Callahan meets Dexter at a party, and the two get in a car. Dexter's drunk driving results in a car accident, which leaves John quadriplegic. John falls in love with Swedish physical therapist Annu, who treats him at the hospital and later becomes his girlfriend. After he quits drinking with help from his Alcoholics Anonymous sponsor Donnie, John builds a new life, drawing off-color newspaper cartoons.

It made me cry.

1. Funny cartoonist with a twisted sense of humor

Always looked forward to the sunday paper where he could be found in Pacific NW magazine.

Doubt his cartoons would be acceptable today.
