[Cover: We see a close up of Dr. BOOM's eye and the Metal Mask that
surrounds it. He has become aware of the news about Arthur Spitzer Running
Out of Jokes and even though he realizes that this might be the saddest
thing the Looniverse has ever experienced, he is defiant! A raging thought balloon pierces out of his eye, 'NO!!! Dr. BOOM shall not CRY!!!
NEVER!!!! Not ONE TEAR!!!! Not ONE SINGLE TEAR!!! NOT GOING TO
HAPPEN!!!!!'

But much like that Special 9/11 Issue of Amazing Spider-Man, one single
rogue tear slips away from the Iron Grip of Dr. BOOM's tear duct and makes
it way towards Dr. BOOM's cheek!

At the bottom of the page in Very Large Text: 'Even a Dr. BOOM -- CAN CRY!!!!!!!!'

And in the bottom right corner a very cold, unmoved Never-Could-Get-Into-Arthur-Spitzer's-Stuff Lad continues to sip on his
Pina Colada (You think he cried when 9/11 happened? Doesn't seem like
it!!!)]

Speaking for-aNever-Could-Get-Into-Arthur-Spitzer's-Stuff Lad, he
probably heard about a plane crashing into the World Trade Center, said
"It must be environmentalists in a Piper Cub", and went about his
business because he had to get on a plane in two days.-a That could be
how he got his appetite for Pi|#a Coladas.

Scott was raised as the Last Son of Planet Scottron on Scott Island.
There he learned that criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot, especially of Scotts. So Scott secretly went to Scott High School and
trained himself to become a Scott to confound them. There he built a
suit of Scott-armor, and was given a mighty Scott-hammer plus an
invincible Scott-shield. Scott's mighty armament is only subject to
other Scotts. This is an incredibly common problem, though. So Scott
has to rely upon his Scott-Sense to identify possible danger.
So sayeth Scott.

As for the rest, Never-Could-Get-Into-Arthur-Spitzer's-Stuff Lad
suspects a marketing gimmick as he enjoys his Pi|#a Colada.

probably heard about a plane crashing into the World Trade Center, said

I suppose the first option: He could have been born after 9/11.

Second option: Like most people who don't have a personal connection to a tragedy, they might think it's awful, but not enough to actually weep about
it.

And the third option could be: He actually lost his parents during 9/11
and not only has he weeped once, but also a number of other times as well
and maybe that's why he's always sipping on pina coladas as away of numbing
the pain of this huge loss. And because I completely slandered him in
Cover Gallery #74i that just gives him even one more reason to not be into
my stuff!
