Hey there guys.
here with a midway progress report for my comic Starfish Island, a Steemit exclusive webcomic!
Click the image to start the chapter from the beginning.
I thought that since there are 30 pages in this chapter and I've had 15 pages posted for a good while, I'd do a little progress report on how the comic has been doing.

My Thoughts
So far, not too bad overall.
It's strange how there seems to be a reverse correlation between earnings and views: the higher the earnings, the fewer views the page seems to have.
That's... weird.
Of course, a decent payout is nice, but I post these so that they can be seen and read by people, and when my highest earning page only has 5 views, that gives me a strange feeling.
To be fair, the pages with the most views have been around for much longer, so that much makes sense, and perhaps over time the newer pages will gather more views as time goes.
And actually, now that I think about it, that makes sense: because there will be people who are new to the comic when the new pages are posted, and they might go back to the first page to view everything they've missed up to that point.
What do you guys think?
Have you read the comic?
If not -- GO DO IT!
