History

Brendan Burford, comics editor for King Features, said, "Readers look to the comics page to reflect the national conversation, and on Sunday, Sept. 11, that's going to be the conversation."^[3]

Jeff Keane, co-author of The Family Circus told the Associated Press, "I knew that it was something that I think would work for Family Circus if I could find the approach for it. Because Family Circus is more of a realistic look at family, and I don't necessarily have a cartoon that is a 'joke a day,' but more sentimental and more emotional, it was easier for me to look at it that way."^[4] Jim Borgman, co-creator of Zits agreed, "As a cartoonist we would have all been wondering 'Is it OK to deal with this topic in our work?' Of course you can, but there is something comforting about the thought that a bunch of us are going to be struggling to say something on that day. My colleagues – cartoonists – are an astonishingly varied and talented group of people. I fully expect we'll see a broad range of approaches that day."^[4]

Exhibitions

The works were exhibited at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.,^[5] the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, the ToonSeum in Pittsburgh, New York City's Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art (MoCCA)^[6] and the Society of Illustrators in New York City.
