Tell me what you think of my comics. I try to go with the less-is-more approach. Oh, and I accidentally posted a couple of them twice, hehe.

Unfortunately, it looks like sometimes less is less. I'm usually a fan of minimalism, but in some of these comics it looks like you left out the punchline.

The pregnant pause is a useful technique, but don't overuse it. If you've got two identical first panels and then your characters only do something in the third panel, it may be that you really have a one-panel comic. Toss three of them together, or use the "black" background to eliminate two of the panels.

Highlights, for me:

[Click to view comic: 'Red Robot Gets Suspicious']

Here we've actually got some action across the panels. Red Robot enters the scene, and uses his facial expressions. That's what makes the comic work. The absurd idea that the guy would put cement on his feet and jump into the river to avoid someone is funny, but wouldn't work without the action to set it up.

[Click to view comic: 'An Awkward Moment']

Probably not overwhelmingly original, but amusing nonetheless. Effective use of the pregnant pause.

[Click to view comic: 'It Was An Honest Mistake']

Not really exciting, but I just wanted to point out that this is one place where the two identical silent first panels actually works well.

All in all, I felt a lot of your comics fell short, but weren't brain-stabbingly awful like some people's. Work on them a little more, maybe try to study whatever you find funny about other people's stuff, and I think you'll be well on your way.

I have to agree with evil_d here. Some of your stuff is quite funny, but you have overdone the identical panels thing a bit.

I liked this one:

[Click to view comic: 'Things More Entertaining Than xXx']

...mainly because I agree with the sentiments.

I like about half of your comics but less is better can only be pushed so far in my view. Juts try a little more variety me thinks:) still funny though

The one about xXx is good because it uses art that we're all used to to new effect.

Thanks for the feedback. Most of those comics were just quickies between me and a friend quickly making comics and showing each other.

But the ones you picked out are more or less the ones that I agree are the best. Although you did not mention the Red Robot Has Bad Timing, which I really like, hehe.
