Humor is relative, yes, but also dependent on knowing how to write it.  I would recommend seeking out a comedy-writing book or two, because your jokes are so poorly-constructed as to not even be jokes.

Also, you seem to have made this thread with the attitude that your material is so great that we should be fawning it over it and hailing you as the next Ryan North and telling you that you shit pearls.  This is a terrible attitude for any artist or writer to have, especially a beginning one.

Eris:
Was this edinborough guy banned or something? Because there is another person who posted the comic in the comic plugging thread, and it was their first post.

Also, dude, they are giving you constructive criticism (albeit not in the most polite way) to try and help you make your comic something other than one of the masses of shitty webcomics available. If you post a link to your work on a (webcomic's) forum, be prepared for people to say something about it. Don't expect people to say "oh wow, it's great!" just because you show it off. All you're doing by reacting the way you are doing is coming off as an areshole, saying "well I'm the one who made the comic, so your opinions are all worthless" isn't going to make us treat you any better. Maybe take some of the advice, like tomselleck's stuff about your writing (he's part of a really good webcomic, so it's not like he's talking out of his arse here) and who knows what will come about!

Also guys, don't be dicks. The thread was pretty pointless, sure, but you didn't have to be so hostile and rude. Telling him (her?) to go away straight away without anything constructive is a dick move. How would you like it if people did the same to you?

edinborough:
eris...i appreciate what you've said, and i am taking the criticism.  i realize the comic isn't very good compared to others, and i do think some things said have been good criticisms.  this is my 1st comic.  and i am not taking it too seriously, it's a fun thing to do.  but most of what has been said is not criticism it's just hateful...it's in the style of it's awful but here's no reason why, it just is.  that's not very helpful.

and i'mronburgundy?...i am not posting thinking my comic's great and everyone else is dumb for not liking it...i've said before that if you don't like it it's fine...that's ok...but to post like that is not cool...it's just unnecessary

i just thought a community of webcomic lovers would be a lot nicer...or at least civil...to someone trying to show their comic to the people who all like the same comic (i.e. Questionable Content)...i was hoping for people to check out my comic and hopefully give some CONSTRUCTIVE criticisms.  anyway, i'd like to say i appreciate everyone who checked it out or posted here that didn't say hateful things.

p.s. no i was never banned, the other post was a friend of mine to which posted and i didn't know about it until afterward
