why is it that i'm constantly making people laugh, but when it comes to making comics, i suck at life? seriously. this makes me one sad koala because i've wanted to make an online comic for at least two years...

i dunnnnnno.

cacahuate:
They were ... average.

The Christmas Tree one (Number 17, I believe) was clever.

asterisk.:
yeah...

i mean, i don't think they are very good, most of them anyway. but for those of you who do the whole comic thing ... do you ever feel like you are just forcing yourself to come up with something or are you just naturally funny all the time? haha.

Inlander:
Well, mine's not a comic (although it's a kind of bastard-child of the webcomic scene) and it's not strictly comedy (though I try to throw a few jokes in there from time to time) - but yeah, of course, every kind of artistic endeavour comes with a set of doubts from time to time.  It's just part of life.  You've just got to have faith that if you find it entertaining, somebody else out there will as well.

Primate:
Like anything else, delibrately being funny gets easier with practice. Of course, comedy isn't as universal as drama, so when you put yourself out there with a joke, assume a good chunk of the population will just think you're stupid.

I laughed at 2 and 3 of the jpgs, and about half of the bmps. Mostly out loud. To a comic strip. Not a bad way to start.
