You're right, but that's another point, like you're saying it. Bit, like humor, we need to wait for it to cool down. 9/11 scared everyone, it also made 'em laugh. It killed a lotta people 'round the USA. Doesn't it make you remember something else ? WWII, it scared everyone, now it makes them laugh. It killed a lotta people 'round Europe (even in my family, lot ov'em died for France). Every "monstrous" event has fear and humor in it.

But between them, there's time, the time for us to move on. Who laughs at world events like WWII and 9/11. The occasional joke is made but you don't just laugh at it mate. I think FT is right, actually. Perhaps some more time would have been appropriate between the event and the story. Still though, plenty of people laugh at horrible tragedies. It's how we deal with them. Of course we don't laugh at the events themselves though... nothing is funny about the Holocaust if you're just talking about the event itself. You have to do something to make it sillier than it actually was, otherwise it's not funny. Spunky, you got it. We can't permit ourselves to take advantage of the situation to write a story about it, it just inspires us through the months, or through the years, again, let's take the example of The Amazing Spider-Man Vol.2 #36, a story INSPIRED and DEDICATED to the victims of 9/11, a real tragedy. Here, it's kinda the same thing, at a small scale.
