The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for April 03, 2023

That must have been really challenging, to be processing your own reaction and be expected to address the attacks at the same time. It doesn’t seem like the kind of thing a cartoonist “signs up for” the way a reporter or news commentator does, but anyone who created content must have been facing a lot of pressure to address it and “get it right,” for their specific audience.

A lot of us spent time just sitting and staring for a while after that

I remember wondering if anything would ever be funny again.

I’m clicking like on these comments, but I with there was such a thing as a “sad like” button. What a numbing time that was. And you think it’s behind you, then one little thing just transports you back to it in an instant.

Makes writers block seem trivial.

Back in thise the only cartoonist, besides the editorial cartoonists, who had a short deadline like that was Phil Frank in the SF Chronicle.

We all sat and stared blankley. (is that even a word)?
