Does This Look Funny To You?

Hey everyone. just needed a little advice on my webcomic idea.
It's loosely based on me and a friend of mine. We were gonna do it a long time ago but it never took to fruition.

Well here it is

This is something I did to see if my old beat up pc could at least put something that wasn't
too craptastic. All critiques welcome.

    And the breaking-the-fourth-wall trope was employed on the very first comic.

    I'm not entirely convinced that this looks funny. Now, an infection in the shape of a clown, that would look funny!

    I don't get how weed jokes are funny. When i watch the Comedy Channel, all the comedians that fail at making the audience laugh, always resort to weed jokes as a last attempt to go off with a bang. Its piss poor humour and has no creativity in it at all. try something a little more smarter which people might relate to. Maybe weed smokers can relate to this (i doubt it). If its based on you and your friend, what funny situations have you been in? Take those ideas and exaggerate them. They might still not be funny, but at least theres some form of story telling and creativity to it. This is just poor.

    as a toker i can attest that to us it is probably even less funny

    that whole weed-as-a-lifestyle shtick is played out as all hell.

    Thanks guys! Especially for being brutally honest. Truth be told I did not really like this one my
    self, but I needed an unbiased opinion.

    Thanks again!

    Please continue to use teeny tiny sized Comic Sans as it is definitely easier to read and most certainly very professional looking.

    You didn't read the rules.

    New threads without art in them are likely to be locked, also no sitewhoring.

    You just posted a link to your site and told people to go look, instead of posting art.

    That's all.

    I hate it when a new guy garners my begrudging respect!

    That being said, just remember that pot jokes and video games are like the guy getting hit in the dick with a football of webcomic comedy. They're...

    No, it's more like salt. Pot jokes and video games are like salt and most webcomic artists use way too much salt...

    Well, no, it's more like aborted fetuses. Just trust me on this one. Aborted fetuses. You just don't want that many of them.

    Well your art looks pretty decent. So focus on having an interesting premise and something for your characters to do now.

    fetuses being the better analogy. except aborted fetuses are generally funnier.

    as for salt, most foods are improved with a little. the same can not be said for this type of humor.
