Have you tried to find an artist over the intra-web? I'm sure that there are plenty of artists who are looking for a writer.
I dug strips like this one, but really think that the strip could be aided by more variation in the artwork. MS Paint and talking heads sort of get me down.
Seriously, check out if you can find an artist online who will agree to do a couple of strips at least and compare the difference. Personally, I would have liked to see an artist interpretation of an Anne Geddes/Celine Dion calendar.
jeph:
The art is a big turn-off for me. There's a difference between minimal art used to add subtle flavor to the writing (DinoComics or even Jerkcity) and minimal art that doesn't add anything to the writing.
Webcomics are a visual medium. Your art is what initially catches people's attention, the writing is what keeps them coming back for more. Strips like DinoComics and Diesel Sweeties work because while their art is not incredibly complex, it's unique, eye-catching, and serves to enhance the (brilliant) writing rather than distract the reader from it.
