Friday Archive Dive: The Lies that Readers Tell

DateFriday, April 9, 2010 at 5:00AM

Today's Archive Dive is from September 7, 2009, when we discussed putting reader comments into their proper perspective.

Picture it: A group of webcartoonists are all gathered. One of them, slightly more inexperienced than the others, shares an idea he had for a T-shirt design based on one of his comics.

"My readers really seemed to enjoy it when I shared the design with them, " he says, "so I want to get it on my store as soon as possible."

The other webcartoonists agreed that the idea was funny -- just not T-shirt funny.

"It's just not gonna fly as a T-shirt," they tell him.

"But... I posted the design and a bunch of my readers said they'd buy this T-shirt!" he exclaims.

"Readers lie."
