The Nutz family is definitely not the Cleavers, the Waltons or the Bradys. But you'll undoubtedly recognize them anyway. Most likely, they're a lot like the family you grew up in... where the battle for the last chicken leg is comparable to the Battle of Bull Run, sibling rivalry is putting it mildly, and family values usually refers to a coupon book. Soup to Nutz by Rick Stromoski stars hard-working Roy Nutz, his loving wife Pat, and their battling brood - sons Roy-boy and Andrew, daughter Babs and rambunctious dog Rosco.
Stromoski is the seventh in a family of 12 children. Growing up in such a large family has given him an especially developed sense of humor that he has expressed through drawing from the moment he could pick up a pencil. A self-taught cartoonist and humorous illustrator, his work has appeared in national magazines, children's and humor books, newspapers, licensed products, national advertising and network television. Stromoski's greeting cards have become best-sellers for several major companies. He has won four Louie Awards for outstanding greeting card design. He has been nominated for his illustration work by the National Cartoonists Society 12 times and was awarded the Reuben division award for best greeting cards in 1995 and 1998, and for magazine gag cartoons in 1999. An NCS board member since 1997, he was elected president in 2005.

The Emergency Alert System was not activated that day; not locally (New York City, Washington D.C.) and not nationally. Here is a link to an article in the New York Times from December 2011:
“The Silence of the Alert System: Experts Urge Overhaul of Plan Unused Even on Sept. 11”, by Glenn Collins, New York Times, 21 December 2011

Those alerts are for natural disasters not an attack that was over before it began. And what good would it have done to sound the alert in CA. Now if it was a sustained attack (i.e. Red Dawn) then there might be a reason.

And since Red Dawn is a silly movie why be alarmed.Just imagine the one country that has invaded or attacked has flights of fancy about an invasion so it can be what the enemies are to them? Only the arrogance of the USA would do that. Sick and twisted.
