Title: Has anyone ever counted the number of appearances of each character?
Post by: Titanium Dragon on February 21, 2010, 03:59:11 AM
I was just thinking about this, and while I know it is a completely OCD thing to think about, I was wondering if anyone keeps a count of the number of appearances of each character. I'm more curious than anything else about it; I just want to know if someone has done it before I do something stupid, like the next time I go through the archive start counting.

I think I remember someone mentioning a tagging project. Don't know where it is, though.

How do you mean? Per strip? Panel? Per first introduction to a new character and/or comic? I'm sure it wouldn't be terribly hard with a few hours, a pencil, and some paper.

Pen and paper? Nooo, we need a high-tech solution involving dual monitors and a ginormous spreadsheet.

More than a few.

Not least, there's (as of strip 944 - I'm well behind in updating the scripts) something on the order of 289 speaking roles in the comic; heaven only knows how many non-speaking roles there are.

heh, I kinda want to know this too, even though it might not be important or anything =P
