  In a recent paper by A. Das and X. Zhou [Phys. Rev. D 68, 065017 (2003)] it
is claimed that explicit evaluation of the thermal photon self-energy in the
Schwinger model gives off-shell thermal Green functions that are different in
light-front and conventional quantizations. We show that the claimed difference
originates from an erroneous simplification of the fermion propagator used in
the light-front calculation.
