Disabled People Bite postcard 1995

About 

This postcard was produced in 1995, by a group of young disabled people taking part in a cartoon animation project in Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People’s Young Disabled People’s Resource Centre. The images are stills from the ‘Disability is…’ cartoon animation, with the words accompanying the dog being patted on the head.
