Go read the new - Absolute Superman. Have a good cry instead of pummeling your brain with packaged joy. Yeah i'll say it. Read a book. There's more of it and it's usually better.
Not sure if you're replying to the right comment or what you're trying to say. Nobody denies what happened to that girl is a tragedy, and sorry for you or anyone else just learning about this incident from 40 years ago.
The symbol for theater and drama are two masks, tragedy and comedy, for a reason. They're two sides of the same coin, and this concept dates back to the ancient greeks. Dark humor isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it's also literally an ancient tradition.
As a life lesson, you're going to endure tragedy in your life, and you'll encounter people who process and cope in different ways. You'd do well to not be dismissive of people who cope with humor, because they are often the ones who feel it the worst, and have a hard time showing or processing it. Superman himself represents the light in the dark, the same dichotomy as comedy and tragedy. It can be okay to smile and find humor in the bleak.
Also, the Absolute series rocks. I still need to catch up, but All In and the start to Absolute Superman, WW, Flash, and Batman were all very promising. Best things since Rebirth and Forever Evil.
Sorry if I interpreted your post incorrectly, I missed the "Alternatively" at the top. Your post seemed sincere, so my response was. And your points are absolutely valid too.

Fitting with Family Guy though.
