Both comics are great, but that's exactly the reason GraphJam is more famous. The vast majority of their visitors don't look every single day, or subscribe on their reader. The vast majority of their readers stumble across their graphics after being linked by friends, through Twitter, Digg, etc. And then look at previous posts. Which is why it helps that they have hundreds and hundreds of pieces of content. Thanks for the comment, Kristen.

But that's because I add everything to my reader. It's impossible for me to maintain productivity and keep up with a blog that posts 5 or 6 times a day. However, I know that it does help I Can Has Cheezburger's success, because a new visitor has tons of content to look at and if they haven't been in a month or two, they're unlikely to scroll through far enough to find content that they haven't read yet. It's sad to hear that someone as talented as Jessica Hagy doesn't get the traffic that Graphjam gets - I've seen Graphjam and I MUCH prefer ThisIsIndexed.
