3. Damn I am squeamish. Reminds me more of 9/11 than 1929

5. It's just the overlay of memories from our own generation...

I grew up reading how a slew of Wall Streeters leapt from skyscrapers the day of the great crash of 1929. So I did get the reference.

9-11 was another catastrophe that played out in NYC in the financial district. So there's an overlay of image and memory.

6. Yep

7. I get the reference too but my second thought was of 9/11

I actually started to laugh but then suddenly it wasn’t funny.

It’s a strange sensation.

8. People jumping off buildings in 1929 was a myth

That story became folklore after a while, but wasn't true.
This cartoon did remind me of 9/11, where victims DID jump to escape the flames.
Unimaginable horror..
