How do you deal with this?

I couldn't help but be reminded of a scene from the old B-classic 'The Last Starfighter' when the big Kodan battleship with the inevitable one weak point was about to blow. When asked what they were going to do, the commander flipped his gratuitous little eyepiece down and answered, "We die." I just thought that was the coolest thing ever as a kid, fresh with the fear of my own mortality, seeing this alien guy face impending demise without fear of his own.
I would have jumped. With a running start, ideally, to bank on the infinitesimal odds of reaching another building before the ground and saving a few stories in the off chances of surviving the impact. If nothing else, at least I'd have a great view. If presented with the luxury of a choice, I'd be the master of my fate, even if only to steer it towards a death of my own choosing.

David, I just read your comic today from the first to end, then seeing this. You have an insite into the darkness..and the light..of a human soul that very few ever possess. For you to use your drawing talents and insite to create such powerful work is a gift, never hold it back

So far... I've dealt with it by not knowing much at all about it. I don't know how I'd handle it if I could firmly grasp the entire situation...

Thank you for sharing your catharsis with us, Mr. Hopkins. Defiance is a wonderful thing, sometimes.Over the past year or so, I've found that drawing tribute panels goes a long way towards helping me work out my sadness or anger over bad things. I did one for Jeff MacNelly (creator of "Shoe") when he passed away, and another for my favourite NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt, Sr. after his untimely departure from the track this February 18th. As for the events of September 11th... I know this posting's a bit late, but then I didn't know Jack at the time. No need to go digging -- it's all right there on the front page:
