Can you give me some recommendations/feedback for my new webcomic?
I started a new webcomic at http://www.potatogibberish.com/
I need some constructive feedback about it. What do you think of the drawings? Do you think it's funny enough? Why or why not? What would you add? What would you take away? Any kind of feedback is helpful.
I know some people not familiar with the punk subculture wont understand some of the jokes, but I am trying to get general feedback on the comics.
Please don't give crappy answers. Here's an example"
Crappy answer: "It sucks!"
Good answer: "It sucks because _______"

I like it because you can make fun of Green Day without actually making them look (too) bad. That takes talent. I also like how you don't have to resort to sex jokes to make it funny. It gets old when that's what almost every other web comic is doing. I do think making fun of Green Day is going to get old eventually, though, so you should probably find something else to use (and I don't mean other bands. I mean you should find a flaw or something within the punk scene that you can use to your advantage.)
I really liked Redneck Jim and I think you should do more with him, although I might just like it because I live in northeast Wisconsin and know people like this. To make it more realistic I think you should maybe imply his redneck accent. For example, instead of saying "Shut up! I'm not familiar with Mexican regions," you could say "Shut up! I'm not familiar wid dem Mexican regions." I don't know if this is how rednecks talk where you live, but I think you probably get my point. It's little things like this that make it funnier (at least to me).
About the artwork, I think you should refine it more before you post it. I don't really care about color, but maybe go over the lines with a sharpie for a bolder effect. Some of the lines seem shaky, and I think doing this might make it seem more professional.
Source(s): Good luck! I've been checking your comic everyday since your original question about it. - Anonymous1 decade ago
Hmmm...... I think you need to work on your drawing skills a bit more. That, and I think that your 'joke' for the comic seems a little..... how to say..... confusing. Personally, I think that you should try something other than potatoes (is that what they were?) as the characters.

I liked them!
Though I don't really get some of them... like "Aliens!"
Why does he talk about America when he says "funny looking Americans"?
I think you need to work on varying expressions more. Like you see in the manga Dramacon. : ) http://www.tokyopop.com/Dramacon/tp_manga/287056.h...
