Is that a real cover? If so, that’s 5 months after the first attack on the World Trade Center. I don’t think the people of New York would’ve been amused. The jumping kid looks like he has red hair and freckles but has a towel (made to look Arabic?) on his head. Strange...

Yeah, I figured it might have been a reference to the first WTC bombing.

Little did they know what was coming next...

no someone edited the photo
