Comic Riffs recently ran an article about comic strips doing a 9-11 commmemorative. We've got four strip local creators, so I asked them - are you doing a 9-11 strip?



Donna Lewis of "Reply All":



Yes. :-)



USA Today has a preview panel here and they included a panel of mine. :-) (very honored).




Richard Thompson of "Cul de Sac":



No, I didn't do one. I couldn't find a graceful way of putting a 9-11 comment into the small world of Cul de Sac that didn't diminish the commentary and the strip. The one cartoon on 9-11 that's stayed with me over the last decade is a Tom the Dancing Bug from a few weeks after the actual event. It's here. I couldn't offer anything as eloquent as that. For what it's worth I'm going to post three old cartoons I did on 9-11 on my blog.



Gene Weingarten, writer of "Barney & Clyde":



Yep, we have one.



Kevin Rechin, artist of "Crock" could not be reached for comment.
