Herblock drew God turning his back on those who commit violence in his name, reacting to a spate of violent acts in early 1993. Anti-abortion activist Michael F. Griffin murdered Dr. David Gunn in Pensacola, Florida, on March 10, 1993. The two-month armed stand-off between the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms ended in a fiery inferno on April 19, 1993. Islamic militants bombed the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993.
