Wow so the animation is really from 2015? It even looks ancient and aged, circa 1980s. And wouldn’t it be in poor taste for any syndicated humor comic to make 9/11 jokes?
Yep, it’s actually from 2015! The artist is the original Ziggy artist’s son (literally Tom Wilson and Tom Wilson II), so I’m sure he intentionally references the old art style.
I think this is more of a general plane crash joke than a 9/11 joke. It’s not specific about where the plane is going and lots of plane crashes happened between September 11, 2001 and November 27, 2015 (when the comic was published).
I’d be surprised if Ziggy didn’t make pretty much the same joke in the 1970s-1980s!
That cartoon is copyrighted 2015? I thought Ziggy was a cartoon from the early 1980s 🤔
I thought the same thing.
I was like “there were Ziggy cartoons in 2015?!” But yep, Ziggy is apparently still ongoing.
The most recent one is also about airplanes. “We’ve upgraded you to early deplaning, here’s your parachute!”
