In today’s CURRENT strip, Rick has Grandpa looking through an old photo album and remembering “Uncle Michael”. I have to wonder if he personally lost him in the towers.
In addition to the one this year, he also published 9/11 tributes on September 11, 2010September 11, 2009September 11, 2008September 11, 2007September 11, 2006 (the Michael mentioned this year)He may have also published 9/11 tributes 2002-2005, but the archive really gets weird concerning dates before 2006 and the creators.com archive only goes back to 11/19/06.Though I can tell them apart when I see them, I sometimes confuse Al Pacino and Robert De Niro when thinking who starred in what movie. The reason I mention it is Al Pacino starred in (the 1983 version? of) Scarface and Robert De Niro introduced the CBS 10th Anniversary of 9/11 that included the documentary made by 2 Frenchmen who happened to be in NYC, filming what a probational fireman goes through in his first months on the job in the fire station assigned to the World Trade Center and filmed the plane hitting the first building (what are the odds?).So I’m wondering if Mr. Detorie also gets Pacino and De Niro confused, and knowing it would run 2 years later on GoComics, did he create this in 2008 to run today to subliminally plant in our minds to watch the CBS show? Probably not, but …

The version with Paul Muni and George Raft was better!

It’s beautiful. So why wasn’t it run today in GoComics?

The 1932 version produced by Howard Hughes and directed by Howard Hawks is WAY better. Paul Muni kicks Al Pacino’s butt…
