So it's not surprising that once in awhile, even though he was choosing the questions himself, Bob Rozakis had to vent a bit, let his inner snark out, and give a smart-ass--and occasionally mean-spirited--answer.
Case in point: Flash #284 (1980):
Ah, c'mon, bro, that's not too stupid a question. Give poor Remigio Gomez a straight answer!!Or, try Secrets Of The Haunted House #25 (1980):
Ooooh, stick the knife in! Since that's probably a kid writing, tearing him up like that seems a bit nasty, no? At least you withheld his name...So remember--you may ask The Answer Man...but you may not like the answer you get!!

I have to admit, I feel some empathy for the Answer Man. There are just days when You Just Cannot Take One More Stupid Question!
Why, I had one today as a matter of fact!
Ah, if only it had been just ONE more stupid question!
Since spelling no longer seems to be a requirement, "Name Withheld" probably has gotten a job as a writer (or writter) by now, perhaps even in comics.

Taking Bob's advice on the matter, I've just gone out and asked someone which Earth I'm on.
His answer wasn't helpful. :(
Bob is a god, he answered two of my questions* and I grew up to be a functioning adult. Well, -ish.
