Wait a day. ~9/11~

I changed my mind. Apologies to those who were reminded to check via Criticism (I'm nocturnal, this is still during said day). No story update today. I had the image all loaded up, and decided to do something else today.

You've all heard these before.

But Eleven years ago on this day, an atrocity was committed, one which I would quote Fred Gallagher (if I'm worthy of quoting him, as infantile as my comic is as of yet,) as "Painting with blood."

I bring it up because it must not be forgotten.

It need not haunt us every day of our lives, by any means, and any other day of the year it's more than possible you could catch me make a joke at the occasion's expense! But it was a horrible thing, and said jokes are more for the lightening of the mood than actual disdain for those lost, and it must still be held as an incident which shows exactly how evil mankind can be to one another, for no other purpose than hatred and jealousy.

I hastily drew up today's special page in memorial, and I don't pretend to have the skill of others.

But if every fledgling webcomic from now on devotes just one page in their entire run to this day, the lives lost senselessly will never be forgotten.

It strikes me how coincidentally similar two thirds of the main villains planned for Criticism are to the wretches who attacked New York, striking not to gain land, or to gain wealth, or any conventional motivation. My inspirations for them indeed lay elsewhere, but the connection lay nonetheless.

And there would be a connection, for those villains are evil. It is a sad truth that the world of reality has decided not to differentiate from fiction in this respect.

We shouldn't lose hope, nonetheless.

And pardon the filibuster, and feel free to disagree, it's my opinion, and doesn't need to be shared, but a president, who will remain nameless, who chooses to divulge and leak state and military secrets surrounding the downfall of the monster who attacked us eleven years ago for a petty political popularity ploy seems to have matched himself nicely with the third main villain of Criticism. Note that I designed that character well before the incident. But he deserves no respect for such actions. And I hold no guilt for my alliterating accusations.

Just something to think about.

All politics aside, them being a nasty buisness,

A special page.

 

Thank you for putting up with this today.
Real page will be up tomorrow. <Read: "4 or 5 am."
