BACK TO 2001

Living in New York City, and with an office right next to the World Trade Center, I was very directly affected by the events of 9/11.  For days, the furthest thing from my mind was my weekly comic strip.  And when it came time to think about it, writing and drawing a comic strip was the last thing I wanted to do.

 

It was with absolutely no joy that I came up with this, my first comic after 9/11.  But, while it may not exactly show in the lines, I wrote and drew it with far more emotion than any comic before or since.

Michelle Bachmann knows that God-Man Sends Messages In Mysterious Ways

Michelle Bachmann made a comment yestereday, divining God's message in the recent earthquake and hurricane to be a warning that politicians become more conservative.

 

I don't know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians. We've had an earthquake; we've had a hurricane. He said, "Are you going to start listening to me here?" 

 

I think she know exactly how God-Man likes to send his messages.  Here is a Tom the Dancing Bug from 2005.

 

(By the way, on the day after Jack Kirby's birthday, note the Kirby-squiggles on God-Man in the title panel!)
