JumpStart by Robb Armstrong for September 11, 2023

Thank you all for your service.

we lost a lot of innocence that day.

The firefighters have better ice cream, and sprinkles!

Bless you and everything you do, Robb. Kindness like yours are why we can’t give up our faith in others, even in the darkest hour. Lifelong fan!

Remember 9/11

A day we were united as a nation..

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!

That was very moving.

Rudy Giuliani could have given the police and Fire Department radios that would allow direct communications. He didn’t do that, and so FDNY didn’t get the message that the buildings were in danger of falling.

Lets all just try to get along.

Thank you for keeping up with “Never forget 9-11”!

Thank you for your service. We will never forget.

Nice tribute Robb.

It was a most irritating event. It brought out the best in US and the worst in US.

Nice one.

Thank you for honoring 9/11.

So few comic strips have noted today’s date. Thank you for this tribute.

Other comic strips honoring the 22nd anniversary of the tragedy (that I have found) are: The Wizard of Id, Heathcliff, CowTown, Dick Tracy, Lio, Luann (albeit subtly) and now Jump Start. Clay Jones also remembers in his editorial ’toon today. These are all here on the gocomics site.

Some pro ball players make millions of dollars a year. What do Police and Firemen make? Who do we need more? You only realize this when the horror like the World Trade Center occurs. Yet idiots still tout “defund the Police”. Tell that to those who survived that terrible day. God bless them all.

A lovely, moving strip. Thank you, Robb Armstrong!

My birthday is 9/11
