The math in incorrect. It should read, 200% increase in ...
From the article, "Modern day covers feature busts that consume more than triple the cover space and show twice the amount of cleavage compared to comics from the mid 20th century." And, "Busts occupy more than triple the cover space today"
Going from X to X*3 is not a 300% increase but a 200% increase. But... math doesn't seem to be where the author has placed his attention.
- Arnavion 4y agoIt's not just the author. I noticed some years ago that a lot of people have started saying the equivalent of "3 is three times larger than 1" instead of "3 is three times as large as 1" or "3 is two times larger than 1".
