I'm not sure if they were supposed to be funny or if they were intended to be serious. If it's the former, then your comics are in dire need of punchlines. They don't really go anywhere or build up to any sort of hilarity whatsoever as they are. You need to think through the whole comic beforehand and to seriously ask yourself whether it's funny or not before submitting it.

If it's the latter, then I'd suggest drawing your own comics rather than attempting to use Stripcreator. Due to its limited functionality (i.e., a max of two characters per scene, a fixed amount of predrawn characters and backgrounds to choose from, etc.), Stripcreator doesn't really work when it comes to serious comics.

Well, first, I'd clean up your sentence structure. Unless the person is extremely funny (as some I've seen are), poor spelling or grammar can offset the potential hilarity in a comic. Capitalize only the start of a sentence and proper nouns. Stop using comma splices. End your sentences with a period. You'd be surprised how much better your comics would probably look just with that.

Second, I'd stick to just one thing at a time. If you still want to try serious comics, fine. If you want to attempt funny comics as well, go for it. However, in three whole panels it's pretty much impossible to do both, let alone to do either well. The comics instead come off as neither dramatic nor funny, only androgynously lukewarm. Make one comic purely serious and the next purely funny, if you really want to do both styles.

I know. I believe you could get better; however, your current comics are not very good.

You should probably be glad that I got to this first than someone like boinky33. I even got reamed out on my first day by the most eloquent biped. All of us have gone through the shaky newbie stage at one point or another, although some probably were funnier to begin with than others and had less adjustment to do. Don't take negative criticism personally.

All I said was that your comics should be worn as underwear.

Yeah. What he meant by that was the fact that they were sexy enough to be worn underneath the clothes.
