Is it possible to make a show/comic starring a disabled character without making it obvious it's being done for awareness, pandering, or preachy purposes? Pelswick is probably the only example I can think of that was as good as stuff like The Weekenders or Doug.

Breakfast Son in Breaking Bad. Breakfast Son was actually alright in as much as it wasn't thrown around a bunch, but they still addressed shit like him driving differently.

The big issue is when they try to act like handicapped people can do anything when they can't, which is why they're handicapped.

Pelswik was done and drawn by a handicapped gentleman. He had to draw with his left hand.
Thats why it was so genuine.

Pelswick sucked.

He was also not really a character. More of a plot device or something

No, he was like what feminists complain women are like in every movie ever. Just an extension of the main character

Not that I cared. I hated Breakfast Son

Yes.

That Pelswick song has been stuck in my head for a decade.

This used to air with As Told By Ginger, right? Imagine that one ended after a season and Pelswick got the multi seasons, specials, and tv movies.
