One thing that I really like about this comments section is how Big Nate fans honestly express their opinions about a given strip. This is how it should be. In other comments sections on GoComics, the people commenting slavishly heap praise on each and every strip no matter what, and it seems that no one is allowed to say anything remotely critical about a strip. This just comes off as being artificial and unctuous and there is no possibility of a discussion (and, indeed, no point of there being a comments page). One can love a strip to bits and be a tremendous fan of it, and yet that does not mean that they have to think that every strip is perfect.
