Oh and remember this first comic is only tester. Second one will have colour and be devoid of awful awful jokes.

I'd Say this,
A) Don't diss your comic because you don't want people to see it and think it's bad because it's your first shot at the strip. It doesn't look awful to me.
B) If you ARE going to color it and make better jokes, DO IT. I think that if you think you're funny, then you should be it and do your best.
Strip one can change to something better by strip five, so keep doing it. I posted my comic www.grumpycomics.com and I think that I've improved a lot, but I wish I stood by my comic before. I think that if you try to be positve about it, you will get feed back. Seriously, Keep at it and it will show if you work hard.
So, does anyone have any comments for me too? :{D

Here's one: you don't need to quote something written right above your own post. Uh, also. I guess constructive criticism is warranted?
Some Assembly Required: cute overall story. Some of the jokes just made me groan, but at least they garnered a response. And the art has definitely improved since your first strip. One thing that bothered me in the first few strips was how you drew a three-quarter profile face. Basically, it looked awkward and wrong. BUT. You seem to have gotten it down now. Only other thing I can think of is maybe change your coloring/inking style? For some reason the entire comic seems 'fuzzy' to me. I mean, not clear or crisp.
Abstract Thinking: change the layout and colors of your website! It's incredibly jarring, unappealing, and does not seem to be very user-friendly. And I agree with what joesoar said. If you keep insisting that your comic sucks, no one will want to read it. Second. Get a better inking marker/pen for your artist. Or use a different program to edit everything in. The lines are hella sketchy and blurry, overall just not making a good first impression. Last. Keep at it! My comic SUCKED when I took over drawing from my friend (she had time commitment issues), but I kept at it. Twenty-plus strips later, I can actually say I'm starting to like my own art.
Jace:
Dude who makes Everyday Heroes. Please put the nav buttons at the top AND bottom of your comic. Scrolling past the comic AND comment box just to read the next strip is very impractical.
joesoar:
Thanks for the critique! I'm trying out a different approach to the coloring, so hopefully it will look better soon.
I realize this is my third post, but I think this thread would be better if you know... people did comment on other people's comic. Otherwise, every like 3 weeks someone puts up a link no one really sees. I got a few more hits from the forums cause I posted something again, and that would be cool for anyone who is trying to wrtie a comic you know?
BrilliantEraser:
Yeah, I know what you mean. Feel free to critique the hell out of my comic whenever you get the chance. :lol:
(side note: my friend drew strips 1-6, I took over drawing from 7-onwards)
