Tell me that my Webcomic sucks.

I made a web comic today, 5 comics in so far.
It's more just some experimental thoughts about how people read webcomics than it is a series of jokes or a story.

There is a specific reason I haven't just posted them here, some of the impact/message would not get across.

So feedback?

The idea behind them is -
Each comic is a joke addressing a specific audience, whether real or not. The first comic is for pople who have not been on the site before, and would not know that the images load up instantly. The second one is at people who read the first comic. The 3rd one is aimed at theoretical people who really like the comic in the future, but bitch about it being more commercial these days, then go back through the archives. The fourth one is aimed at me, I wanted to keep a record of which font I was using, and I couldn't find a post it note, so I used a webcomic. The fifth one is a secret.
I intend to make comments under a range of pseudonyms alluding to the story and/or audience behind each comic, but am still wrangling with the HTML to have it set up how I want. The idea there is that only half of the story is in the comic, and half is in the fictional characters I will have making comments.

It's not "experimental", that pretension is reserved at least for people that have put in the effort. It's just crap. It's not even interesting crap.
Don't get me wrong though, your mum still rules.
So are you looking for writing critique? I think you can see where I'm going with this.
Honestly, I didn't expect people to say they think it's the best thing ever (hense the only slightly tongue in cheek title of this thread). I was just bored and thought I would try something new.

post some more pictures of the prophet muhammed, tube
If she does that I'll just let her go hungry.
That is fantastic
Okay, no, wait, I do actually have a crit.
"...and would not know that the images load up instantly."
aren't all images supposed load instantly? And even if you're on a slow connection, isn't it implicit knowledge that static web images are meant to be instantaneous? So unless your comic is aimed at either very old or very young people, the basic premise of the joke is gone. It's not a good idea.
"The fifth one is a secret."
Brilliant*.
*Irony.

Your voice is way too condescending. The thing is from the posts I've seen you put on here you're not like that at all. Just put your normal voice through in your future works and it'll be more tolerable. Just to use a familiar example Tycho as a character has a pretty good vocabulary and the hifalutin type jokes work because he always gets his comeuppance or Gabe discounts his opinions. That way the artist can still give the joke that's too smart for the room but not come off as an ass.

I really don't know what to say.
where you trying to make our eyes bleed?
mine came pretty close. If you're going to honestly try webcomics, don't start there.
GO NOW.
Why is this thread still open? I think we need to define what art is in the rules thread. If something took you less than 10 seconds to think of and execute, and it doesn't even look interesting or make anyone happy, then it is not art...at least art that anyone wants to look at.
Besides, I think that the anonymity afforded here really turns some people into uber-critics. Take that other thread "Trailer for my short film" the one with the Deathwrites short in it. There were a few people getting all high and mighty over someone's hard work and degrading it. Then it gets accepted into Cannes. So I think some people can be over critical here just for the fun/fuck of it.

OBJECTION!
Pretty sure the joke in that took a bit longer to execute than LewieP's bullshit.
I mean, half the joke is that it ended up in a museum. If LewieP ended up in a museum (unless it was in the Bodies exposition) it would be funny. Or rather, it would have been funny eighty years ago.
But ya...what multimoog said.

oh that i have produced such a cruel, heartless, unloving son who threatens to deprive his only mother, who carried him in her womb for 9 1/2 months (yes, 9 1/2 months, he wouldn't come out) and then nourished him bodily for a further year, and he threatens to not feed me whilst i have 1 arm in plaster, the other in a sling, just because he couldn't be bothered to put any effort (artistic or otherwise) in designing and writing a web comic AND he has the temerity to want me to paint him another picture! woe is me to have produced such a child.
lewie, IT SUCKS LIKE A HOOVER!
infract him, Tube, you know you want to.

Regardless, now the circle is complete.

The laughing, it won't stop!
OK, it stopped, but it was touch-and-go there for a minute.

So in short, I would say that you have unquestionably created one of the best web comics of all time. You have done what no other comic artist could ever hope to do. You made me look within myself. At first I was angry. Why won't you show me the goods, I thought. Clearly a simple jpeg could not bring my entire sisterboard to a standstill. But wait, maybe the contents of this image contain something of a higher power. Was inner reflection really the point of the loading?
You showed me nothing, nothing but the questionable tease of things to come. Instead of showing me the spastic MS paint scribblings of a untalented madman, you teased me. You made use my imagination, and for that sir, I appluad you. Was the comic painfully unfunny? Would the comic have raped my eyes a new one? Perhaps, but I will never know anything except for what the loading screen chooses to tell me. All hail the Raptor Jesus reborn in digital form. He watches.
