9:00 AM. I was sitting in front of my computer as I am most mornings doing my daily news/comics surfing. The radio was on, and coverage of the first plane crashing into the WTC was already in progress, and I thought, "My God, what a terrible accident!" – for at the time, I thought this was an airliner that had accidentally gone off-course. Someone – whether an eyewitness, or a professional commentator, I don't remember – was talking about the crash, when he suddenly began screaming "My God, my God!! Another plane has hit the other tower!!" That was when I turned on the TV and saw for myself the full magnitude of the horror and the evil that was perpetrated that morning, and knew at that moment that this was an enemy attack.
I spent most of the rest of the day creating this drawing, which encapsulated the three stages of my reaction to those events, and which I posted to my website that day:
Satin Steele represents my shock at seeing the scale of destruction; Tetsuko, my grief over the loss of life; and Starburst, my sense of outrage, and my desire to see the subhuman bastards who did this brought to justice.
I have not forgotten, and I will not forgive.
