Any idea which of your strips is more popular?

My guess would be "Nip n' Tuck."

Nip and Tuck edges out the other two, but only by a small margin.
Currently it gets about 30,000 hits daily.
Goblin Hollow is getting about 29,000; Questor, about 24,000--- but then again, it updates half as often or less.

Generally more silliness occurs in Nip n' Tuck, and that's why people read comic strips, for a laugh.

Speaking of which, today's (1-23) "Dilbert" completly cracked me up laughing, Dilbert playing mind games with the pointy-headed boss.

Reminded me of in Under The Lemon Tree, when Lily and Ben's boss tried to keep Lily from leaving, to go visit Ben in the hospital.

*ROAR*

The subscriber counts on The Belfry (as of Jan. 24, 2005):
Tales of the Questor - 98
Nip & Tick - 91
Goblin Hollow - 87

Tales of the Questor is my personal favorite. I was turned off by Nip and Tuck's early political BS (Misrepresentation of my veiwpoints was read in those comics), but somehow I stumbled onto Under the Lemon Tree (Goblin Hollow), and started reading that.

Tales of the Questor I finished reading a long long time ago, then forgot about it, then fell in love with it once more.

If I could afford to pay Ben for a cameo of sorts (And despite the fact I disagree with him on many many subjects, he is, as an artist and storyteller, someone I admire), it would be in Tales of the Questor... if such were allowed.

Instead, I'll settle for a T-Shirt. >.>;

Could you post subscribers, and the dollar total of each one separately, along with a cummulative total?

What subscribers? We get these dang comics for free! (Thank ya very much, Ralph.)

He's got some counters up on his pages now, and Questor seems to be the one dragging in the most donations... whether it's because it's the most popular, or people just go through his comics and donate when they reach "the end", which just so happens to be TotQ... I don't have a clue.

In any case, I hope things continue to go well for him.

Subscribers: People who have the comic mailed to them when it updates. Or at least the link.

Its a service Belfry does. A free service, mind you.

I don't think The Belfry e-mails updates of strips to subscribers (at least I'm not aware of any such feature, and I'm one of the assistant admins). What the subscription lists are mainly good for are as a one stop page of bookmarks for all the webcomics you want to follow. There is an optional frames mode that I don't use but some users like. It is also good for finding other webcomics that might interest you.

...I used to get mine mailed. o.o

That boss is a bona fide numbskull.

Can you imagine that boss' POV, looking down the
gaping maw of a Felis concolor as you hear the
sound of the 1967 MGM lion's roar...?

SCARY.

Why 1967 particularly?
Did they tone it down in later years and before about that time the speakers in most theaters couldn't do it justice?

Nope... I meant when it was REALLY LOUD...
