I decided to analyze Jerkcity and compare it to a number of great novels:



As you can see from this cluster dendrogram of the 500 most frequently used words, Jerkcity places near White People and Wuthering Heights. Emily would have been proud. Surprisingly, it is very distant from Dracula which I found to be odd, considering both involve a lot of sucking.

This next chart lists the most frequent words, stripping out so-called "content-free" words:



If you would like to know more, the CSV of word counts is available for you to do your own research: http://pastebin.com/NKww1BJV

Likewise, if you have any questions I would be more than happy to answer them. :)

did you ocr the more recent jerkcitys or did you just use one of those old .txts floating around

seems like itd be pretty easy to ocr given the consistent font, but the comic cell layout probably makes it a lil tricky

Good question! I went to http://jerkcity.com/jerkcity.txt and then stripped out everything but the dialogue.
