Humor about millions of painful deaths that engulfed entire societies in misery and chaos is the best kind.

It’s only funny if nobody alive can remember it.
Eventually, Pearl Harbor and 9/11 will be up for political mockery.
Eventually?
I didn’t care for it much until the leeches entered the picture. Then it was spectacular.
An internet comic strip does not make a pertinent example. What about in the mainstream? Remember when Bill Maher got his show canceled for saying that the “terrorists” were a lot of things, but cowardly isn’t one of ‘em? We’re still not seeing the mainstream media embrace the mockery of 9/11, ‘cause people lost loved ones in it. And stuff.
Theres a show called aliens in America that just came out, and I saw a clip of it on CNN, because it so “controversial”. It had a scene where a foreign exchange student from Pakistan is in his first class at Highschool. It goes something like this:
—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-——-
Teacher: We have a new student today, kids! His name is Raja, and he’s from Pakistan. So, how does the class feel about Raja and his differences?
(Random Girl raises hand)
Teacher: Yes?
Random Girl: I feel angry, because Raja’s people blew up the towers in New York.
Teacher: Thats very good.
Raja: But I did not-
Teacher: No, no. In America, you can’t speak unless you raise your hand. Now then, who else feels angry at Raja?
(Rest of class raises hands)

Now, that doesn’t directly mock 9/11, but it does mock America’s reaction to 9/11, which is a good first step. Also, I tried watching the show, but it was really terrible.
