There was no such intentional implication. If you read it that way, I apologize. We just like to know that readers are really getting out of the strip what we hope they will. A couple seemed to take exception, as if we were calling all Simpsons watchers geeks. And it’s not only our strip where this occurs. I see it in the comments of some others where the gag seemed clearly stated, but was somehow missed.
Of course, words on a screen in a comments section don’t always come across as intended. So the cartoonist might misunderstand how the reader meant something as well. Our comments are always meant to be good natured (Although in the past we’ve had a troll or two who would try anyone’s patience. Don’t seem to have any recent visits from them.)

No offense or put-downs were meant!
