I felt that i had to cast the first vote for "As infrequently as possible".

Since I'm admining the servers, I often have to check and see if changes broke anything they shouldn't have, so I felt that that was probably the most appropriate answer for me.

It is not, however, inconsistent with any of the other options also being true for me.

That option was cleverly disguised as, "Four days a week"

I voted "as infrequently as possible" `cause I read the RSS feed. So I could've gone with several times daily, instead.

And no, I wouldn't begrudge you for putting ads in your RSS.

Gasp! I check SIX days a week. WHAT WILL I DO?!?

Seriously though, I usually check each of the days that there's a new comic, and usually on the other days too because I forget what day it is.

Where is the option for "every five minutes, by script, with an email to my cellphone when even one tiny pixel changes"?

I mean, I can't be the only one. There's got to be at least, um..., three?

Five days a week, becasue it's part of my daily routine, and I am a creature of habit. Also, I usually check first thing in the morning, when I'm not yet awake enough to realize it's Friday and should go somewhere the hell else to feed my webcomics jones.

I only remember reading it when I am at work and so, from my point of view, AIAP.

I am an initiate? Wow. Change. Hmmmm. Okay.

I check my entire bookmarks directory of webcomics everyday. Saves me the trouble of actually remembering which comics update when.

Before I was on the email list, it was 4-5x per week. Now I'm on the email list, and don't need to visit to read the daily updates, and yet for some reason I do keep coming back, for no earthly reason beyond force of habit. And here I am now. Hello!

I use Opera, so one of my tabs that I always keep open is Goats.

I refresh it probably 4 times a day to see if there are new updates, even though I know there wont be.

Hooray for not having a life outside of webcomics.

There should be an "8 days a week" option.

I pop by once every couple weeks. Not that I don't enjoy the strip enough to stop by everyday, I just prefer to take in the longer storylines in chunks, rather than a strip at a time.

Y'know, I don't come by more than once every TWO months, anymore. I've gotten all serious and don't read webcomics, but I still have to find out where the *#@& all of this is GOING.

I think I'll horrify people now and say that as long as I'm at it, I might as well look in on "Bruno."
