Dick Tracy by Mike Curtis and Charles Ettinger for September 11, 2011

Thank you, Joe and Mike. It’s a beautifully done rememerance…

My Friend P. White was in the South Tower. She refused the security guards instructions to go on upstairs and ran down instead. She escaped certain death and was only a few blocks away when the first tower fell.

Joe, Mike, Shelley & Shane … THANK YOU !!!!!

Here is a very interesting Web site exposing a faker who’s made a lot of money by claiming to have survived the WTC attack: http://stopkaz.com/

Thanks again Joe and Mike for a wonderful and moving tribute to those heroes who paid the ultimate sacrifice while in the line of duty.

Thank you, Team Tracy. God bless America.

God bless you all on this day…Love each other today and pray for others hlep others and think of others, put others on your heart today.

Joe, Mike, everyone involved with this… thank you. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

this is best one of all times thanks

thanks for taking time out of the story line to remember today.

Thank you… Joe, Mike, Shelley, and Shane.

And let me add my thanks too, to the entire team. THANKS, GUYS!! NEVER FORGET!!!

Very well done, and very moving. Thank you!

God Bless.

Today’s strip brought tears to my eyes.I lived about 50 miles from the city, along the CT shore on Long Island Sound. We were on the flight paths of JFK and a local airport, so planes were as much a part of the sky as the clouds and birds. But that day nothing flew.The whole world seemed to be holding it’s breath.The silence was only broken once – by three Blackhawk helicopters, flying full speed, as they passed overhead toward the city.

Lord yes.

Thanks, guys! Your remembrance to the tragic events will stay in my heart.

I have seen a lot of 9-11 strips, This is the best of them all. Thank you guys, it’s appreciated. HOOYAH!

An excellent and fitting tribute. Thank you, Mike, Joe, Shelley and Shane.

Great Tribute.

I too appricate this, thanks

You’d think ALL of the 9-11 strips would have been dedicated to the memory. I haven’t been able to find any others, except BC. Wiley writes a pretty somber poem.

To Joe and Mike, thank you.

Nicely done.

One of the best strips I’ve seen yet. Excellent tribute, gentlemen

Very moving.

We all have memories…thank you, Joe and Mike

Yes! the strip was weldone. Except it could have bigger print.

Folks, let’s not leave out Jim Doherty and the TRACY HALL OF FAME. All 5 of us are proud we could do this strip today.

A moving tribute.

Thank you,

Yes – everyone was touched in some way on that day – mother, father, son, daughter, cousin, niece, nephew, in-law, good friend – everyone…

Not a dry eye in the house, I imagine. Mike and Joe that was a perfect use of a Sunday strip that is uniquely positioned to make a statement today.

thankyou one of only three comics that have remember what this day is for.

To think the people who did this, did it in the name of God! God!!! But not the true God as they think, the true God is the God of Israel! Islum is a cult founded by a man who took little girls for wives! A curse on the Muslum religion!

Mr. Staton, Mr. Curtis, out of all the tribute strips today, yours was the only one that really hit me in the heart. Great strip, out of a lot of great strips today.

Mike and Joe. Thanks. Sometimes, the most subtle emotion is the most powerful. -Brian L. Miller, New Jersey

Very nicely done. Thank you to the entire Tracy team.

Great job on the strip today, guys. Very poignant reminder of just how much this tragedy has affected us all.

Mike, Person, and Vista,.I very much appreciate the compliments, but I will say, thank you, Fire Marshal Bucca, and all the other firefighters and cops, those who died and those who survived..You gave the whole world an example of courage and self-sacrifice that is still awe-inspiring a decade later..The monsters who committed this act may have believed they were acting in the name of God (and, as an aside, the God of Mohammed IS the God of Abraham and the God of Jesus; Islam, like Judaism and Christianity, is one of the three Abrahamic faiths), but the true Spirit of God was in the heart of every firefighter and and every cop who rushed into those buildings to help those who needed help.

Yes.

Always shall I remember and pray to God for comfort for all those left behind and say “Thank You” to those who gave their lives on that horrific day.

Great job today (as always). Very sobering.

@ Jim Doherty:

Actually, Biblical Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ IS God, eternally One with the Father and Holy Spirit. We don’t totally understand it, but it is spelled out quite clearly in the Bible. Muslim teaching is that Jesus was a mere prophet of lesser importance than Mohammed You cannot try to blend the two teachings; they are mutually exclusive. Biblical Christianity further teaches that all people everywhere need the saving work of Christ i love Muslims,Jews and everybody else, and pray that they will come to know the Wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you..

Excellent work. Last panel is chilling in its reality. I never forgot.

Proud to a be an American.I’ll NEVER forget.And I love this comment-forum and it’s people.

Well done. Lots of good tributes today, but this is probably the most personal.

They were there to answer duties callThat day we saw the twin towers fallThey knew the job was full of dangerBut it was theirs, to help friend or strangerTo answer a call, they could not pick and chooseThough their lives they might even loseHearth and home, they had to leaveTo do, in what they believedA quiet morning, to be had by someNothing much but routine to be doneBut when the alarm sounded, they sallied forthTo those soaring towers, both south and northThe first responders, from throughout the city cameAll knowing things would never again be the sameSmoke and flame, high up in the skyNo time to hesitate, no need to question whyFlame and smoke poured from aboveBut no-one had to give them a shoveInto the building they went with all their gearThings had to be done, no time for fearFire, police, EMS’s tooAll knew the job that they had to doUp they went, seemingly without a carePeople were in dire need of their help up thereThrough the flames, smoke and dust They did the things they knew they mustThen came those terrible, ominous soundsThat heralded the towers crashing to the groundThe dust and smoke are all settled nowIn prayer and remembrance our heads do bowFor all who perished on that fateful dayWe honor the price that you did pay.

Well done gentlemen, very well done.

Forgot to say yesterday Shane, Shelly, Mike and Joe; not only is this moving, the artwork is just gorgeous despite the subject matter. I cannot believe the difference even less than a year makes in the life of a strip like this. Keep up all the great work.

Beautifully done, guys.
