Is the comic,
I started it early this week. It mainly is about music, but .. well not really.
I'm going through lots of style changes, does anyone have any suggestions?
Should I continue? Turn back now?
(I'm new, I know, I hope this isnt counted as spam..)

Please post art rather than links.
As for your webcomic, the art is pretty messy at the moment, the writing isn't that funny. At least it isn't about videogames, but it still has that "a couple of guys talking about X" thing that is obscenely overdone in webcomics.
Actually, from what you present of yourself and your worldviews as represented in your comics... I think I hate you.
Yep, yeah, there it is. It's hate.
Well! Glad we got that over with.
(Sorry but everybody else is doing it and I felt left out.)
Wish we had more newbies like Weed/Weet (Can't remember his name).
GET OUT.
JUST GO.
Actually, it is pretty fucking bab.
The idea of a noob sitewhore rushing to the defense of another noob sitewhore fills me with a special kind of rage. If either of you had taken the time to read the rules before posting, you'd see that -SPI- is absolutely right. (Starting your first thread on the boards with nothing but a link to your Webcomic is what we fondly refer to as "sitewhoring". We hate it and that means we hate you.)
If you want to post a couple of strips in your thread and get feedback on the art and writing, fine.
IMMA CHARGIN' MY EXECUTE
Your livejournal fails to load, so I hate your comic. I hope the fine people here completely destroyed your dreams, and you have no hope for going on in life.
Get yourself a reliable webcomic host. When it comes to webcomics, presentation is important. A sloppy website is as bad as sloppy art. There's a lot of free hosting services out there for webcomics if you're not sure if you want to continue with it in the long run.
C'mon man, if you're site whoring at least spell your site URL right.
For instance, you make the "smart" character say "I think lyrics make up 90% of how good the song is." Not only is that sentence fucking retarded in terms of grammar, but if you honestly think that the most important thing in a song is the lyrics, then you're an idiot.
That's the specific line I was commenting on earlier. Because it means you think of songs more as poetry than music. And that means you think of the kinds of songs you like as poetry. And that's broken. Well, to me, anyway.
Thus I, personally, hate you.
Also, sometimes your characters have five fingers, and other times they have four.
Other times they have both.
And an arbitrary, indiscriminantly assigned single fingernail.
If only I was as funny as "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch"
Man, thats such a funny saying!
Ohhh burn!. That was good, you bite back. I like that. Now apply that to your comic. As it is now, the humor wasn't for me. It's not all bad though, some of your inking is pretty good.
Work on the crits above, like the hands thing. At least keep your hands sorta consistent. Also some panels look like they weren't scanned, but taken with camera, makes em look blurry. Your lines really aren't dark enough.
Also the text has got to go. Either do it by hand, or make it better than it is here. It doesn't even look like it belongs in your strip. It is nice and dark though, so make your lineart at least as dark as that, if not more.
Get to work.
