About this cartoon: A tremendous undersea earthquake of 9.0 magnitude off of Indonesia triggered a tsumani that devastated the nations around the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean, killing more than 155,000 people as of this writing.
Noteworthy: I wasn't at all sure about doing a cartoon on the topic, or if this idea would work... it would be dependent on the artwork coming off particularly well. Fortunately, the artwork did seem to come together enough to carry the concept, with several people saying they were moved by it.
