		<description>I used to try lifting manhole covers in the streets around my house, hoping I&#039;d either meet the Mario Bros. or the Ninja Turtles and they&#039;d ask me to join in their fight against their respective evils. </description>

		<description>Then there&#039;s people like you that have to whine about free entertainment. Joel&#039;s putting his all to try to make people have a laugh and get a lively conversation going and yet you don&#039;t even have the courtesy to not comment if you dislike it. 
 
If you don&#039;t like it, then do as Joel said--find another of the 12 frillion webcomics out there that WILL suit your sense of humor. 
 
Seriously, chill out, have a LOL. If that&#039;s too much to ask of you, then don&#039;t let the back button hit you on the way out. 
 
PS: No one gives a flying monkey about what home-schooled brats do in their spare time. </description>

		<description>Sorry for my absence, Joel! I had been too tied up with work and whatnot that my daily dose of webcomics has suffered greatly. 
 
This is definitely one of my favorites--anything to do with GH or RB is, these days ;) 
 
Anyway, in response to Purple Monkey Dishwasher&#039;s comment above, yeah, there IS a little more merit to the parents&#039; decision--they did the right thing by hiring him a tutor and thank the god the bugger is actually learning stuff. 
 
But where I think the majority of the people&#039;s grievance with the kid&#039;s parents is that they gave the worst, most cop-outiest excuse for allowing him to do that--they were sick of his bitching. They&#039;re showing him that because he whined beyond their tolerance threshold, he can essentially get what he wants from them, endangering his ability to be self-reliant in the future. </description>

		<description>Those asshole parents should be pilloried for the &quot;Just got tired of him complaining&quot; line.  What the F?  I complained about something once in 1987 and was rewarded with a week of ruthless beatings. </description>

		<description>You guys may think that this kid and his parents are dumb (and I agree with you), but maybe he&#039;s on to something.  Since everything is going virtual / computerized anyway, maybe this is just the head start his family needs to really make it big in the thriving upcoming world of fauxism. </description>
