This is an original artwork by David Coverly of the cartoon "Speed Bump". On Thanksgiving, 2001, cartoon artists from the National Cartoonists Society created their comic strip in memory of the victims of 9-11 and donated the original art work used for that strip to be auctioned off with proceeds going to the Milt Gross Fund for the victims of 9-11 and their families. Some of the cartoonists involved in this auction were Bill Keane (Family Circus), Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey), Marcus Hamilton (Dennis the Menace), Jim Berry (Berry's World) and over 100 more. I purchased three with this one being my favorite because 5 years later my son was killed in Iraq and it holds a special meaning for me. This is the actual frame used to reproduce the comic strip for the newspapers.

Re: 9-11 original cartoon frame "Speed Bump" used in newspaper
When Mr. Coverly drew the cartoon he used the wording "NO TERRORISTS HERE". He decided to change it to "TERROR" for obvious reasons. You can see on the arwork where he made the change.
