You seem to have the system down. Character introduction, buildup, punchline, all that jive.

They're not very funny, though. And if I had to hazard a guess, I would say that the world doesn't need another comic about wacky anthropomorphs and their random, unfunny adventures.

[And nobody minds that the comic isn't Nintendo.]

I know the first few aren't that funny, I'm just trying to set all the characters up one at a time. And generally I need all my characters to make a good joke.

And yes, the humor is fairly Eskimo Bob-esque, but I've got some really good ones coming soon.

Oh by the way, our computer got attacked by a trojan horse, so I won't be doing many updates soon.

I'm saying this the only way I know how: learn to draw.

Hey, s1x's comics are REALLY simple and they are great.

And Pearls Before Swine, which is the funniest strip ever, is just really a doodle!

Yeah, but they have something you don't; humor. I'd rather see something unfunny and drawn well than something unfunny and drawn poorly.

Hey, these ideas could be used. I mean, what's another thing after Brandy and Mister Whiskers, Camp Lazlo, My Gym Partner is a Monkey...

Come on, not all anthropomorphic styles are bad. The story I'm attempting to do is more serious than anything. Think Paranoia Agent with a side of Samurai Champloo.

Look, I know the first ones aren't good at all. I'm going to upload some great ones as soon as I get this stupid trojan horse off my compy!

It's tricky to introduce characters well AND have a really good joke in four panels. Plus it's my first time drawing cartoons, so cut me some slack.

And I am going to take an art class sometime.

EDIT: One other thing, in my previous post I just was trying to explain that comics don't have to be drawn well to be good. I wasn't saying my comic was funny. (yet)

Look, constructive criticism is for the best. It's the only way you'll improve. I understand that not all anthropomorphic ideas are bad (I for one am a BIG anthropomorph fan). But, really, if you're going to submit anything, make sure you do it right. Don't show off your mistakes.

I've been trying to improve the content and jokes of my comics. Make sure to check out week 1 for the Zoo Tycoon comic, which I consider to be the best.

I'm sorry if I seemed overly defensive. I know constructive critisism is for the best.
