In 2002, it wasn't "too soon".

Now, it's ALWAYS too soon.

I could see this in Cyanide & Happiness since they don't mind tasteless jokes, but yeah I doubt Zach would do another one like this nowadays. Kind of interesting though, given that this was written 3 years after Columbine, which probably had more media coverage than any subsequent shooting. It seems like early SMBC was still leaning more towards C&H-style humor than XKCD-style humor.
