Indie Comics vs. Google Trends Showdown

The index to the Indie Comics vs. Context roundtable is here.
____________

We had some fun playing with google trends and indie comics in the comments of this post, so I thought I’d fiddle with it some more.

Garfield vs. Spiegelman. Brutal.

Garfield vs. Penny Arcade. Closer than I’d thought.

Fantagraphics vs. Comic-Con. Also a bit unexpected.

Chris Ware vs. The Hernandez Bros.

Chris Ware vs. R. Crumb.

Alice Munro vs. Alison Bechdel.

Craig Thompson vs. Anthony Trollope

Marjane Satrapi vs. Chris Ware

Matt Groening vs. the Simpsons
 
All right, that’s enough. Play along in comments if you’d like, though.

  1. although it should be noted with the propper spelling, he seems to average about 1 headline per month, which i guess isn’t really terrible.

    also both maus vs. garfield and spiegelman vs. jim davis are a lot more appropriate and both seem to be much closer races. (sorry, noah).

  2. Not to mention the fact that there are way more publicly active Jim Davis-es in America than Art Spiegelmans. Google Trend – fail.

    Liking Garfield more than Maus is certainly something to be proud of.

  3. Yeah; I wasn’t entirely sure how to do that one, I have to admit.

    I really don’t like Maus. Don’t like Garfield a whole lot either, but more than Maus.

    I may like Maus more than Doonesbury, though.

  4. Also, good point about Andrew Garfield. If you could correct for that maus might even “win”.
