It is about the comedic misadventures of a Great White Shark named Sherman and his many pals who put up with his shenanigans. On Sunday 9/11 the strip was a single panel of Sherman and his friend Fillmore, the sea turtle. The two of them had their heads above the water and were looking at the lights of the memorial at Ground Zero. Sherman says "It feels like yesterday." Fillmore says "It'll always feel like yesterday." To me, that summed up exactly what everyone was feeling. It will always feel like yesterday. Thank you for a wonderful and heartfelt post.Johnhttp://jmountswritteninblood.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486672861828924689.post-24188339763975281612011-09-12T05:30:05.972+01:002011-09-12T05:30:05.972+01:00Derek, as you know, I had a very busy weekend and ...Derek, as you know, I had a very busy weekend and am just now getting time to catch up on the blogs I follow. This was a beautiful, heartfelt tribute to the victims of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States. I find it very touching, and it restores a bit of faith for me, when people from other nations stop and offer respect and condolences for this very sad anniversary. It is a day that changed the world as we know it, here in my home country, and clearly, this was felt 'round the world. <br /><br />Thank you for taking time to write this piece. <br /><br />- DawnHealing Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03236609802381940498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3486672861828924689.post-42642587847713953492011-09-11T23:22:42.055+01:002011-09-11T23:22:42.055+01:00Derek, very heart warming post....
