Seeing a number of posters here are people who seem involved in a lot of stats in webcomics *cough*faubyarpsdatrkolter*cough* I thought this might be interesting.

Suddenly my personal little war seems one hell of a lot smaller.

* roots for the gals since they're apparently the current underdogs *

Once we get equality for you, we might actually be able to start getting equality for the next gender minorities.
Haughty spirit and pride make for a wild roller coaster ride!
I mean, as long as you like fairly final endings.

Well no one can say that women aren't interested in making comics. Though I do wonder if the age demographic of Keenspace might have something to do with our percentage.

I do not shed a tear for the female gender, so long as my fellow unkowns are even more underrepresented.

Well, yeah, the women are too busy cooking and baking to make as many comics as the men.

Of course, conversely, I often find myself too busy flexing, grunting and chopping down trees to draw.

Heh...is everyone aware they only used the comics in the top 100?

Counts me out of their data, and I dare say quite a few of the rest of us, eh? ;)
