Pretty cool chart. Look at the drop in AOL from 2002/2003. And impressively, look at it's return in 2008.

What's the chart about?
People use aol.com?
Didn't even know aol.com was a thing still, heh.
I figure there was no way someone beat out Google, so I'm suspicious.

This Funny or Die skit about the end of Serial is very amusing. Her impression of the defense lawyer is the best.
I don't have any opinions as to Adnan's guilt or innocence, but I sincerely wonder if he wasn't found guilty because the jury was so annoyed by his defense attorney.
Same here. Appearance and presentation are a huge part of an attorney's strategy, and everything I heard from her sounded so absolutely, completely shrill and annoying. Her sing-songy delivery made everything she said sound sarcastic and snarky, and the timbre of her voice hurt my ears. Unfortunately, those two things are super important in a trial. It would be nice if we could focus only on the facts, but that's not really how humans work.
She sounds like Nancy Grace.
But really, I had a half-serious thought during the recording of the attorney grilling Jay during the trial: if he isn't strangling her right now, I just don't think he's a killer.
Can you guess all of the famous cartoonists on this chart?
Each character drawn in the style of a different artist.

Cool chart, but you don't actually have to guess. The chart tells you by following the intersections.
Who's third from the right? That's the only art I don't recognize.

Edit: Not Lars
Third from right is Tove Jannson. She's the one who does Moomin. Super popular character in Europe. I used to watch one of the cartoons as a kid.
Ah, okay. Thanks to you both for the heads up
The comic I'm least knowledgeable about is Fingerpori, the one after Batman. I know it's a Finnish newspaper strip but that's about it.
Speaking of which, I can't tell if the Batman style is meant to be generically classic American comics style or a specific artist, but it looks most like Jim Aparo?
I was thinking John Byrne?
