Happy New Year everyone!

And yes it's that time of the month again, time for a look at the stats for this blog. Once more earlier stats can be found at the pages for February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October and November.

First off the sites most people come from:

1. Google (+1)

Dropping out of the top ten are Jo Salmon (at 19, down 13) and CartoonChurch.com (at 20, down 13 again). Compared to last month it's been a bit mixed, with a couple of new entries, some rearranging and an astonishing plumet for Jo.

Then we have the top ten search engine requests that brought people here:
