Yeah, I'm with Aus on this one for the same reason, it was somewhat devoid of anything that even resembles a joke, really just a random snipped of normal conversation. That happens to me a lot, you know you've got a great setup, and you can feel the punchline somewhere in the back of your mind but can't quite come up with something.

My advice though is to write down your setup and come back to it later, cos a setup will often prompt you to think of a punchline when you next see it.

For this I'd have come back and gone with something like:

Chuck: Wow, that's an awesome blue tie! Have you got any more?
Chen: No, just the one.
Chuck: Oh. What about a blue synthetic vagina with detachable vibrating anal beads?
Chen: No, only in green or yellow.
Chuck: Damn.
Chen: I know!

Feel free to george* that in too, or re-write it if it sparks another idea :)

Alternately if you were trying to imply that this occurred in a retail store and Chen's the salesman, you'd have been better using the clothing store background, as that one's a basement storage locker with random crap and clutter all over the shelves (that I just couldn't be arsed drawing in at the time). 

 

*george ; verb ; to retroactively edit established media, more often than not detracting from the quality of the original by replacing guns with walkie-talkies and shit.

I read the comic, deemed it un-funny, and left. Then I came back, read this part of Injokester's post, read the comic again, and found it hilarious.

It's like Seinfeld...humorous in its apparent lack of humor...dry yet witty...I'll give a thumbs up

 

PS, I play guitar also!

Ohhhh. Right, missed that entirely. In that case yeah, there is a joke in there, though I'd say it's more suited to an acted out skit, it does get lost in comic format.

Now that boloboffin clarified the comic for me, I get it.

Still pretty weak though. Try more ass rape and or domestic violence.

Another break from making comics.
Thought I'd try to sling another one out.

I did not understand ANY of these comics except for the first one and the last one, and the former was "meh" at best and the latter just flat out wasn't funny. Your latest comics have all been, to be honest, garbage. You used to be quite funny, but you seem to have completely lost your grip on what actually constitutes as humor. Most of these actually lack anything close to a punchline, which, if I remember correctly, is what makes comics funny, usually.

I apologize if I seem like I'm being harsh, but I cannot understand how you've gone from making pretty funny stuff to making complete tripe.
