Ask Dr. Eldritch Reader's Poll

Posted by

evannichols on 2008.03.23 at 17:19

Remember the Ask Dr. Eldritch Reader's Poll? No? Well, we had one, and I've finally gotten around to posting the results. Here are the counts and percentages for each of the questions. I see that more women read the comic than men (or at least, more answered the survey). My readers also tend to be an educated lot (most have college degrees), socio-politically left, and you don't read lots of webcomics (60% read 10 or fewer each week). Many of you live in the United States (78%), but the rest live in Canada, England, Ireland, Scotland, Australia or New Zealand. I know that I have readers in a number of other countries, but they chose not to fill out the survey. Thanks to everyone for your input, and I hope you find this interesting!

The following are the entries to the Name The Fembot Contest. Well, all entries but the one winning name, which will be announced in the comic on March 3rd (if you know what it is, don't give it away)! I am deeply impressed by the creativity displayed by my Readers; many people provided clever and amusing comments and explanations. Here are the entries, including supplemental information, in no particular order (Readers names have been omitted to Protect The Innocent)( Behind this Cut )

"Oh, my!" she gasped, her look of polite interest suddenly shifting to one of fascination and respect, tinged with raw, animal lust. One hand fanned her face, in a futile attempt to cool the flush that rose in her cheeks as she spoke. "You have how many action figures?"

Are you the sort of person who listens to the commentary tracks on your DVDs? If so, you should know I'll posting some entries here about my reflections and perspective on the webcomic. I'll tag these as "artist's notes," and put the content behind cuts, so those readers who don't want to sully the purity of the experience by seeing the seamy underbelly of the comic will be spared. The rest of you, come on in!

These are the notes for Comic #305 - Giving Notice. ( More Behind a Cut; May Contain Spoilers )

So, if you look at Comic #254, do you notice anything different? Maybe I'll mention this when I post Friday's comic, or perhaps I'll just wait to see if anyone comments...

Welcome to the Eldritch Realm! This is the community for all things relating to Dr. Eldritch, which is a fairly wide-open topic, really. If you're new to this community please check out the Community Info for the posting guidelines.

So here it is! You've come here because you already like Dr. Eldritch, or you're new and are curious, or you've arrived here unexpectedly (but not accidentally, metaphysically speaking).

So, what have you got to say?
