The third one was the best one. It's relatable and thats what makes it funny, However I wouldn't suggest going for xkcd's style. Its very smart humor that people like heathen would never understand.

Better? Yes or no?
OK, another comic showcasing the new art style will be up in a few seconds (after I upload it).
I must warn you, though, this one is a little bit... Different, both in terms of showing off the new art style, content, and the fact that it has Islamic Extremists. I'll possibly upload another one with the regular 'ol main characters later today, considering how I've already made such radical a departure 7 strips in.
As the people digging through my profile have noticed, I've made another comic for today (meant to post it 2 hours ago, got sidetracked by Youtube videos).
In the words of Advancebo, it's "Failhalla".
r aFor the record, I am TRYING to draw badly. I don't have a tablet, no, and I DO have a copy of Photoshop (not installed on this Windows 7 installation though), but I'm using MS Paint for the purposes of the comic. But I really should stick to drawing simple things, as it looks better, IMO.I'm lonely.

No, not at all. Still terribly drawn stick figures, with absolutely no room for being expressive with them, all they can possibly do is stand there. Try hand-drawing your comics, because frankly, these current ones that look like they were drawn in flash are absolutely mediocre.Originally Posted by English Mobster
A cartoon isn't funny merely for its words - you may as well just post the junk in your comics, what makes a cartoon funny is how one combines words with the drawings, expressing whatever is going on in some exaggerated way, for example. Your "characters" just stand there. Even Cyanide and Happiness cartoons have expressions and XKCD stick figures have poses.
And don't think I'm attacking you directly - I'm just being extremely blunt. My father is a cartoonist, and he's taught me a fair few things.

Don't do that. It's not working for you. Even if your jokes had potential, it'd be impossible to tell and would be all lost because your delivery is absolutely lacking.
Delivery is, imo, even more important than the joke itself. Intentionally poor art only works under certain circumstances and you are not meeting those circumstances. I suggest you drop that direction and find a new one if you want to improve your quality.

This is getting painfull... Maybe comics aren't your thing. You know?
Alright. I'll try doing these again by hand, then. Let's see how it works out.
Maybe you guys are right and comics aren't my thing.
