Jon 'Bean' Hastings drew this comic in the immediate aftermath of 9/11. I found the message and it's presentment very powerful then, and I still do today. I even purchased the original art for this a few years ago. I find myself referring back to it more and more frequently these days. #Comics

Comic page of a TV announcer screaming out of the television at a terrified cartoonist in his pajamas. Each panel is less detailed and more sketchy than the previous one. The announcer is yelling: PLANES CRASHING! BUILDINGS COLLAPSING! THOUSANDS DEAD! HAVOC! MAYHEM! DESTRUCTION! DEATH! You! Cartoonist-boy! Look at the horrible loss of life! Look at the unbelievable devastation! What's the point of your little scrawls now?!!! Utterly useless! Vain! Futile! Cringe in horror a this new world where terrorists destroy innocents on a grand scale!!! How can you draw your "funny books" with all this carnage and sadness and pain and ruin! Why even bother picking up a pencil again?
Comic page of the cartoonist lecturing the TV announcer back into the television until he's able to turn it off and return to his drawing table. Each panel is more detailed and refined than the previous one. The cartoonist is saying: Because... Because stories give us hope. Expressing our thoughts and feelings is what gives us our humanity. Thought stories we can share our grief, our outrage, our horror but also our dreams, our memories, our hopes for the future. That's what they can't take away and that's what they don't understand. We are all more alike than we are different. We are all connected by stories. "All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story" - Isak Dinesen
