It’s a bad habit but I’ve been going over the web traffic stats for both my comic sites a lot lately. It’s interesting the different kinds of audiences and numbers I’m getting.

I always figured that Funny Webcomic would be a more popular comic than Plant-Man, but I didn’t figure how much so – the raw numbers for FWC are one hundred times bigger than the numbers for Plant-Man! I guess this means that conventional ‘gag a day comic strips’ are more popular than comic book style adventures? A quick look at isitfunnytoday.com seems to back this up, with ‘story’ comics delegated to another page.

The funny thing is that making a Plant-Man page is about a hundred times more work than making a Funny Webcomic strip!

Another thing I noticed is that FWC readers seem to be more ‘temporary’, while Plant-Man folk (Plant-Fans?) are more dedicated. Also: way more awesome.

Anyway I must resist the temptation to look at traffic figures – anything that doesn’t involve me sitting down in front of my drawing board working on the next page is a waste of my time…(he says, as he sits down in front of the Xbox for another round of Street Fighter 2 HD…)
