Maria's Day by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for September 27, 2012

Being a hater does nothing but make you look like a fool. However, constructive criticism can be a good thing, so if you don’t like the strip explain why and how you think it can be improved. Otherwise, don’t post at all.

The option is to not read. In fact – try keeping off GoComics altogether…

Don’t worry about mike48. Some people just need to feel important. By hiding behind a screen name so nobody knows who they are…

Ever try to make a living as a writer? []I have.

Some of these cranks go around leaving similar comments on other strips. They like to tell us how to do our job. Makes ‘em feel important to imagine they’re an expert.

I LIKE this strip, very funny! :D

DON’T LIKE IT MIKE48? DON’T READ IT!!! BYE-BYE. ♫HIT da ROAD JACK, and DON’T YA COME BACK.♪

Tom/John: Why do I get the feeling One,or BOTH of you had this same Conversation with your Own Kids???? ☺

In virtual worlds, we call people like mike48 griefers and boot ‘em. They get muted, ejected, and banned for life from sims they’ve visited and caused trouble.

You can sure depend on kids to tell the truth, or at least what it seems like the truth is to them.I LOVE this strip too!!! It’s one of the few strips that if I don’t have time to visit them all, I will always come here.@Scott – Great answers to the comments today! I love having you join us also (even if some commenters are rude & nasty).

Love both your strips, guys. Keep up the good work.
