Hands up if you think Ackbar made it because of Admiral Ackbar.
*Raises hand*
Also, this, again, because I haven't used it anywhere near as much as I should.

I wonder how accurate a metric "number of times linked to" is for popularity.

The number of times people clicked a link that led directly to that comic. |

I don't know but I'm going to be making some little prints to sell at shows this year and I need some way of narrowing it down from around 700 to around 5.  Seems like a good method since I will be trying to sell to mostly people that have never seen Biff before. |

Fair enough. I think it would be cool if you posted in one of your blurbs a request for your readers to email you, telling you which comic is their favorite. Then tabulate, or have a lifeless member of the forum tabulate, them, select the top ten, and post a poll. Probably not for this con, but maybe others.

Well I'll probably select these first five and see how they sell. Then I'll print more of the popular ones for the next show and add some new ones to bump out the stragglers.
(or maybe they wont sell at all and I'll think of something else)

The comic "normal" people can relate to will probably sell better, things like the one slice of cake.

Actually, most or all of the ones in the top ten stand pretty well on their own. I predict modest success.

Most verily, fair maiden. In my house, you got whatever piece of cake they cut for you, 'they' being the person nearest the cake. If it was your sibling and you had quarreled that day, you might not get any cake at all. My family is weird about food. |

Do they shove whole cakes up their nostrils? Because that would be acting weird about food.

Once again, 'weird' is overused.
But if someone eats any food, or food they were going to eat later, or food that they particularly like, they go nuts and demand to be re-compensated for their loss. It's ridiculous because we always have tons of food in the house, if you're really hungry just make something else, and besides, if you ask the parents they'll put it on the shopping list.
It's insane, the way they act.

You think that's bad? My dad has, on several occasions, gotten onto me for drinking something that was purchased specifically for my consumption. He has even told me, and I quote, "When I bring something home from the grocery store and the day after it's all been eaten, that discourages your mother and me from buying more of it next time." Your family, at least, only complains if something they want gets eaten.

Strange.
You'd think people were squirrels, storing away food for fear they might not have any. Food is for eating, not for putting in a cabinet or pantry.

You can't have your cake and eat it to...
But you can have someone else's cake and eat it too, and still have your cake when you're done.
