Zwol.org

During my unintended hiatus I've gotten more No Contest strips than when I've been regularly producing Zwol. Odd. This comic is from Ben Brockert who offers me this comment-- "Don't take it too personally, it's about Absurd Notions and Ubersoft and every other on and off webcomic as much as it is about Zwol."

Weird. Searching eBay for love, trust & honesty results in a lot of ritzy automobiles.

Woke up this morning and could not believe the news. Spent the day in front of CNN and that disbelief did not pass. Made the comic; time for bed.

Of all people, Alan Thicke provides some interesting commentary.

The Guardian: "Americans cannot ignore what their government does abroad."

Multimedia (Flash) presentation illustrating the WTC events. In Spanish, but very clear.

Michael Moore does what he does.

I went to a comic shop during lunch today and saw a line of people running down the block and around the corner. Not for the comic shop, but for the shop next door-- a shop that sells flags.

Jeff Kandt: "President Bush now promises "victory" over terrorism. This strikes me as incredibly naive, or cynical, or both."

Dave Winer: "We've got to find a better use for it than use it as an excuse to unleash our anger through military force."

So many stories this morning. Almost everything Doc Searls says and links to today and yesterday is worth reading. An important thing that's been running through my head all this time, and makes no appearance at all in the President's scripted rhetoric, is summed up by Doc in this quote: "For the terrorists who destroyed the World Trade Center, America was the Other, the villian. What was their story? Who else is following that story, and believes in it, for whatever reason? Why? What can we do to change that story?"

When he's off-script, George W seems to babble incoherently (scroll down to Q&A session), and I wouldn't be the first to make stream-of-consiousness links to the Tower of Babel and the Tarot Tower card.
