Professional cartoonists with cerebral palsy

Factual Questions
1

I am a cartoonist, and was also born with cerebral palsy. At one time I actually made a living at it (if only as an instructor and occasional freelancer). At that time (the early '90’s) I thought I might be the only one with my disability to be a working cartoonist, since most people with CP don’t have the coordination cartooning demands. But I wonder about this now, and thought one of you could tell me whether there are other people with CP who earn a living in cartooning.
