The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Hey, these aren't bad. Most new comic threads around here are usually balls but yours are not balls. I like what you have going and you should keep making more. Your word bubbles are serviceable but I'm not a big fan of the borders you use for the panels, maybe try somethin else?
The first two are actually pretty funny. The ones with 4 panels are way to long though and they break the H scroll. Also the third one is not funny. Physical violence as a punchline is best to avoid because its probably the most unfunny/overused way to try to get a laugh in webcomics.
That being said, the art is pretty OK! I like your tufu people. It does appear that you have your line width set too thick because the weight of the linework is bogging down the strips. It will also allow you to add more detail to the panels, if you end up wanting to add any details.

Awesome! I will definitely take your thoughts and advice into consideration and experiment with different line lengths and border styles. I find that coming up with decent ideas is difficult :C
Hey Twixxo, my old Minecraft buddy! I have tunnel vision, so there's only two threads I frequent and didn't notice this one. Your jokes need some refinement, but just keep at it, and they'll get lots better.
I like your art style! Definitely keep up with the thinner lines like your latest strip.
New strip def looks better with the different panel borders and thinner line-weights IMO. Joke wasn't bad either, though I had to re-look at comic to notice that the other guy was sitting in a chair in the background in panels 1 and 2. The two characters locations are pretty essential to the understanding of the strip so you want to make sure its clear on the initial reading.
Something as simple as having the tufu in the chair turn around, and look towards the other tufu in panel 2 would've made their locations a lot more obvious. That way you could tell someone was actually in the chair.
Also in panel 3 we see the tufu with the chips is standing near cubbards, but we're given no indication of that in the first 2 panels.
Thankz guys, ill definitely keep at it and see where this goes. i guess i have yet to nail the thinking process down that will allow me to think of some jokes. Right now I try to remember amusing things that have happened to me recently but not that many things can be easily translated into this it seems. How do you go about coming up with your jokes, Ronnie?
Ideas come from the questions that can only be asked and answered by your imagination. The difference between writers and -err non-writers is that writers always notice when they get a wacky idea while non-writers just give it a hurr and move on. Carry a small notebook and write down all the ideas you get during the day (believe me when I say you get lots of ideas during the day).

I try to do this already- whenever I think of something I open my notepad on my phone and write it down; but I don't seem to have that many ideas so I will have to pay more attention to things. Or perhaps my repetitive weekly schedule is to blame. Summer starts at the end of this week for me so I will leech it for ideas.

It has done its job
The art looks like very minimal effort went into it also.

Steals is such a strong way to put it. He crowdsources his humor, I'd say.
Crowdsources.
