Cartoonists 
Gather 
to 
Reflect 
• On a day when the entire world was reflecting on 
the events of September 11, 2001, the comics 
community joined forces to honor the occasion 
with a moving display of solidarity and 
remembrance. 
• In respect of the 10th anniversary of 9-11, the 
major comic syndicates rallied their cartoonists 
to pay homage to one of the darkest days in 
American history through their September 11, 
2011 Sunday comic strips. All of the nearly 100 
participating strips have an overarching 
September 11 remembrance theme. Some 
convey sadness, while others embody hope, 
fortitude and faith. All are sensitively crafted and 
beautifully poignant in their own unique, 
thoughtful and appropriate way. 
• Participants in this industry wide print and online 
memorial event include cartoonists whose work 
spans the entire globe and is featured in the 
most influential newspapers and websites.
Below are brief statements from several cartoonists who 
participated in the Cartoonists Remember 9-11 tribute. 
• Today’s real-life 16-year olds would have been in kindergarten or the first grade when the attacks of 
September 11, 2001 occurred. While the significance of that terrible day’s events would become apparent 
to them in subsequent years, that would be a job for their history books. It would have been their parents’ 
and teachers’ reactions that imprinted on their minds at the time. And, one of the things most of us 
parents remember is the overwhelming need to hug and protect our kids at the end of that day. It 
returns―a sort of muscle memory―whenever we remember September 11th. 
― Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman, Zits 
• Forgiveness does not make the horrible wrong go away. It frees us to handle the wrongs of now and 
prevent wrongs in the future. 
― Tony Cochran, Agnes 
• Cartoonists are visual people. Even after 10 years, some of my strongest memories of that tragic day in 
September are the jarring pictures of the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers slowly crumbling down. To 
honor all those who lost their lives on 9-11, I decided to draw a more hopeful image, one that shows the 
tower rebuilt…at least in the innocent mind of a baby. 
• 
― Tom Armstrong, Marvin
