This image seems to suggest that there is some form of consistent trend, comic to comic, of how much explanation there needs to be. Takes no account of the possibility of one comic having a lot of subtle references (or whatever), but a neighbouring one just being so obviously one thng. This graph is 'trying' to statistically analyse something that is statistically not relevent. It looks good (and it's funny, which *perhaps* is the main intent? ...though I'm not sure about that...), but it's totally meaningless as any kind of factual/counter-factual information, the source information is too noisy and independent of any attempt to create a meaningful trend. (Also, ~~~~ won't do anything within this comment. If someone creates the Talk page just to put this in there and supply some sort of signature with the right timestamp, etc, ok?) --&gt;</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #333333; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #e6e6e6; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>[[Category:Helper comic images]]</div></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #333333; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #e6e6e6; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>[[Category:Helper comic images]]</div></td></tr> </table>
