QC Character Total Appearances

(1/12) > >>

raoullefere:
I mentioned in the WCT: Jan 27-31 thread that my inner Hanners was tempting me to actually count the number of episodes in which each character has appeared in QC. I am now doing that. Whether I get to the 1000+ range depends how thoroughly Hanners possesses me, but at 350, I have noticed the following:
Marten is down from an initial 98% to about 84%
Faye is up to 84% now.
Interestingly, as Dora's percentage grows, Pintsize's lessens. At 325 (I'm only storing the cumulative data for every 25 episodes) Dora was 34% and Pintsize 25%. At 350, she's at 35% and he's down one to 24%. Will this continue? Is Dora the anti-Pintsize? [Actually, this makes sense if you view QC as focusing on Marten. PCs are cool, but, future generations of lovedolls notwithstanding, girls (and/or boys, depending on your gender and S.O.) tend to trump them.]

And the 2nd tier Character with the highest percentage? Steve, of course, with 15%, followed by Ellen (you remember Jailbait Ellen) at 9%.

Will I do 'em all? I dunno. I also have to figure out a way to post the actual results. I'm doing this on Appleworks, because, believe it or not, I don't actually use spreadsheets all that much. It does the job, and it will make a nice chart I may post, but I can't seem to export the actual percentages (it pastes the numbers, which ain't the same.

Will I finish this? Dunno. One reason I'm doing this is it's the season for sinus headaches, something I'm amazingly good at. THis I can do without much mental effort other than designing the spread, which is done. If I feel better, I'll probably drop it, or put it aside for later.

Amadeus:
Wait, Jeph appears?!

Anyhow, this is really cool to me. Keep me posted as it continues.

raoullefere:
Jeph appears in two guest strips. I know they're not canon (so to speak) but I decided to include them in the count.

Both times we see a really sexy storyline, then cut to Jeph catching Jimbo hijacking the strip. It doesn't say it's Jimbo, but it looks like him, sooo...

Apple Pie:
This is actually rather interesting.

I applaud such a procrastination effort.

:D
