A smaller sized webcomic with an absolutely devoted fanbase can, in theory, be far more successful than a larger comic (in terms of visits per day) simply because the fans are committed enough to the comic to keep it running. On the flip side, you can have a comic that has a large audience full of people who make sure to read it every day, but it's not their "top tier" comic. Converting visitors to returning audience is important but it's only part of the story. Crack to whom? That’s the question.
