Abstract
In a recent letter ({\it{EPL}}, {\bf{104}} (2013) 60003; see also {\it {arXiv:1309.5645}}), Plastino and Rocca suggest that the divergences inherent to the formulation of nonextensive statistical mechanics can be eliminated {\it {via}} the use of -Laplace transformation which is illustrated for the case of a kinetic Hamiltonian system, the harmonic oscillator. The suggested new formulation raises questions which are discussed in the present comment.
