    Brilliant and moving.
    We’ve got a clearinghouse of links and interesting reads about the earthquake, the response, and the coverage here: http://esinophile.wordpress.com/2008/05/12/chengdu-earthquake/

  • Agent 86

    First we save the people, then we save the pandas, then the liquor… I love that.

  • Meso

    This is so moving, I’m glad you’ve shared it. I wish the mainstream media could give a little nudge to this site, this is humane news coverage.

  • Miss Cellania

    I came in to say the same thing… this picture alone made my eyes well up.

  • Cronan

    The first strip brought tears to my eyes.

  • Jenn

    These made me cry at work. Despite that, they’re absolutely beautiful and touching even though they make me realize that no matter how far we think we’ve come, it just takes one day to tear it all apart.

    Thanks for sharing these. They’re as beautiful as they are moving.
