This comic is kind of gimmicky. Using pictures as you do, I can't really rate on the art. The reoccuring jokes are sort of funny, but not enough to make me laugh. As wit goes, this comic was the only one I liked. The others were kind of...overdone.
I have to say you don't really lead up to the punchline well. Too many words which muddle it up or the joke's just not funny to begin with, like the Doctor Phil one. I think you might have something going with these later strips, with less panel and just a line or two of captions. Those tend to be funnier.
All in all this comic is alright, and it's kind of humourous. But I think you could make it funnier. There used to be a comic on DD (if anyone can find it that'd be great) which used clip art very well with extremely hilarious captions. If you can learn to condense and lead up to the punchline better the comic would be more enjoyable. At the moment though it's only average.
4.5/10

I'm with him on this.
using photo pictures, which you didn't even take yourself, isnt art.
and the jokes aren't that funny at times.
could try to be funnier, then this comic could be great.

Errr, well... I highly dislike this format probably more so than sprites. Especially since these are generic images plucked from various websites.
(i.e. Im certain that you didnt even scan them yourself and probably took them without permission.) And since you didnt scan them and definitely didnt take them, I have to give you a huge negative on the "art" portion. (they arent even creatively edited).
ART: -3/10
There isnt any real story here, just some random jokes to try and fit with often mismatched random pictures. The jokes are OK on some of the pages, but not a witty laugh riot. Most didnt even make sense (although I agreed with the Clerks II thing, but its not like "oh, ha ha yeah !"
I also agree that the rehashing of images and certain other jokes is a tad annoying.
STORY: 3/10
Overall 0/10
