But what you have to rely on above all else is whether or not YOU think a joke is funny. "Stop. Wasting. My. BANDWIDTH!" Did you laugh your ass off at that? I doubt it. And that's why nobody else is going to. And the whole "Oh noes! LOL!" kind of bit requires a lot more tact to be received well. Use it sparingly, though I'd personally avoid it entirely... Ultimately, you have to rely on your own sense of humor. Though what's funny to you may not be funny to someone else, your own reaction to an idea is a decent gauge for how others will react to it. If you have to ask if something is funny, there's a 99% chance that it isn't.

Actually, I remember this saying from someone who has directed his share of comedies: "If you think something is funny, chances are, no one else will."

It's definently true. Nothing is worse than someone who laughs at their own jokes. The jokes are supposed to be funny to other people and should be focused on them.

I found most of the comics funny. I rarely laugh out loud at a comic, and this is no exception. You got close. Vgcats, Penny Arcade, and Punks and Nerds are the three comics that got "ROFLMAO" reactions from me.

Keep up the good work. I've never been able to draw on the computer, so me criticizing that would just make ME feel bad. :P

The Czar:
Okay, I've started a new comic strip and I'm concentrating on the art. I will post the first frame once I'm done with it. When I do so, some more honest comments will be appreciated.  Thanks.

I dunno, when I'm doing animation, I tend to produce better results when I think what I'm doing is good/funny, and other people tend to agree. I guess that's not to say that I actually laugh my ass off at my own jokes, though. So, what I said about that probably isn't true in most cases. But I think it's important to feel confident about what you're doing, and it'll show in the finished product.
