With the exception of Mr. Trudeau's work described above, comic strips seem to lend themselves more to Veteran's Day discussions than to Memorial Day. Since every day is "Well Crafted Classic Comic Strip Day," at least around here, it might be fun to spend a few moments reading Milton Caniff's famous 1943 "the speech" strip in Terry and the Pirates.

Editorial cartoonists, on the other hand, tend to always do strips on such holidays, many of the "remember the reason for the season" variety. You can check out Daryl Cagle's 2005 Round-Up here.

UPDATE: This blog does a nice job with general war-related comics covers and images.
