Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for September 11, 2023

Amen to that…

Never forget

Amen

Parker? Hart? If I could hug you both, I would. You two are wonderful for this.

Excellent. I salute you. Excellent

Thanks for reminding us.

The picture of a dragon in the sky reminds me of a parody of “It’s A Wonderful World” which I posted on this site nearly a year ago:-

“I see a King who’s a fink,

Big noses too,

They make good jokes,

For me and you,

But the Fink doesn’t think,

What a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow,

The dragons in the sky,

The smiles on all the faces,

Of damsels passing by,

But the Fink doesn’t think,

What a wonderful world.

I see the Fink shaking hands,

Saying “How do you do?”,

The Fink is really thinking,

“I’ll get you!”

For the Fink doesn’t think,

What a wonderful world.

Thank you for honoring 9/11

Remembering not just the lives that were lost on 9/11,but everyone who came together in the days and months that followed to prove once again how many kind and caring people there are in this world and the lengths they’ll go to,to help those in need.

Remember the heroes. But never forgets the villains. Never forgives. Never forgets.

Thank you for remembering. Can I say “God bless you” without offending anyone? Take care.

Never Forget 9/11! Thank you for remembering!

Gee, ya think?

One of the things that I kept from my former place of employment is the calendar page from September 11, 2001. The ink may be a little faded but not the feelings from that day!

❤️❤️

Like a few other events…..I remember what I was doing and where I was!

Flight 93 heroes

Thanks Parker and Hart – this is the only memorial in my group of comics acknowledging that it is 9-11!

Well done Parker and Hart.

They weren’t made on that day. We just finally recognized them!

In memory of those who passed on 9/11.

We shall never forget.

“They run towards danger when everyone else runs away.” NYPD & NYFD

I say a prayer for the victims.

Well said.

We remember….and good riddance to bin laden, courtesy of seal team six

On 9/11 heros came from all walks of life, religions, colors, genders and sexual orientations. At that time of need, personal desires and needs were set aside to help others in need, TRUE patriotism was on full display.

And 22 years later, people still remember. Never forget!

I spent that entire day in front of the TV.

Revenge had unintended consequences and plays a large part in the current decline of America.

Awww! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

NEVER FORGET!

Thank you for this tribute. I now have tears in my eyes, as I always do remembering the events of that awful day.

Thank you for the tribute. It’s a shame others didn’t find a way to offer recognition. Some folks feel it necessary to acknowledge stupid events with their own annual “whatever day”, but forget this national tragedy and act of war. The American spirit lived. People continue to feel the affects. Prayers….

I remember, in horror, from SC, on the TV, the fires coming from the first tower, after the first plane had collided with the tower. And then, I remember, as the smoke billowed from the first tower, another plane crashed into the second tower. And I remember the towers pancaking down to the lower floors where so many first responders were crushed.

I do remember.

And, I do remember our nation’s response. I remember the “shock and awe” we unleashed on Afghanistan and its people. Was our response, correct? Or, was our “shock and awe” a kind of terrorism that a super power lets loose in our anger and sorrow? These, too, are the questions we should ask as we remember….the heroes.

Not really using the word heroes correctly but I get you. Never forget

In central New Jersey, 9/11/2001 was one of the prettiest days ever.

Kim came into the office, said a plane had hit a tower. I assumed it was a private pilot’s error. A few minutes later she said the other tower had been hit. My response: “We’re under attack.”

9/11 has already gone down in history next to December 7,1941…..God bless them all,victims and rescuers alike….22 years….

Thank you, Parker and Hart! Never Forget!

HUH??

The riders on Flight 93 decided, “We will die but you will fail.”

Please note THEY died protecting the Capitol building. Protecting our nation and its leaders.

To this day one of my cousins would not talk about it. If I remember correctly he was across the street from one of the towers.

thank you. agreed

I still remember!

Thank you. Beautifully done.

Every year OBH remembered, but not this year.

Looks like this counts as ancient history for a lot of people, but not for those of use who lived through it even if only from a distance. The world changed on that day.

Don’t forget the prior attack on the WTC 1993.

Beautiful artwork and thought

Well done

There are probably hundreds of stories of heroism that day but will never be told because of the buildings being destroyed and the acts of heroism never known to us. God bless them all.

Never, ever forget…

Every person is a hero, inside. But, the only true one, is the one that lets it out, when the call comes, to do so.

I just read a few days ago that another person’s remains here been identified. Even after 22 years, they’re still working to identify all who perished that day.

It was an exquisitely sunny day in New York City. I was living in Broooklyn and working in Manhattan on 9-11. While on my way to work on the F Train, I saw both towers burning in the distance across the East River. When I arrived at the building on Broadway where I worked, I saw a long line of weary people in work clothes, walking slowly away from the site of the Twin Towers. They looked shell-shocked and oh so weary. Many of them lined up to use the street telephones to let their families know they were alive since internet service was down. When I was finally able to catch a F Train in the afternoon to get back home, I went straight to Prospect Park and sat down on the grass to enjoy the peace and quiet to be found there. But my peace of mind was short-lived once I began to sniff the air and smelled the foul odor wafting its way from the site of the tragedy. I will never forget, and I hope that all of you will follow my example.

thank you for this. you were the only strip to make a tribute to this horrible day
