Not funny at all, I hate to admit. You should have at least tried putting punchlines in at the end of ONE of the strips

Events in real life that don't have punchlines at the end of them are the ones that you probably shouldn't make comics about, but if you do, then you are allowed to make some up.

If they don't have a punchline, then there has to be something else about the comics that is funny, unless making them funny isn't your goal.

No, punch lines don't always appear in real life, that's why we either change the facts or don't write about things that just plain aren't funny. Or if we do, we don't post it in a forum and and ask other people to read it. And no, not all comic strips have to have a punch line, just the ones that are meant to be funny.

Now that being said, you haven't asked us to like your comics, just read and review them, which certainly goes to your credit. A lot of people post very poor comics that get canned and then take offence that people didn't like their work, which isn't what you've done.

What I'd suggest is that if you're going to make comics based on real life, to change things slightly to make them humourous, or use real events to set the scene, and then use a fictional punchline to make it into a joke- this is what I've done on about 70% of my strips, and it works quite well. Alternately if you are set on sticking to reality, perhaps comic strips aren't the best medium to use (nobody takes anything seriously when it has cartoon drawings). Otherwise forget being accepted into the stripcreator community and just make comics for your own reasons. ^_^

Thank you kindly for the feedback, folks. I'll keep those in mind when making future comics.

Happy posting, good people.
