I find it odd that on a web site for creating comics, we really don't talk much about comics.

This thead is for remaking comics. I'm always interested in what makes comics funny and how to make them funnier. So find a comic you think could be better, and post it and its revised version here. Don't forget to talk about the improvement and why you think its necessary.

Anyone's comics are fair game, including your own. Find someone elses comics to fix or revisit your old ones.

I'll start the ball rolling with this bit that was originally in FGH.

Original:
/comics/Enderandrew/252538/

Revised:
/comics/fuzzyman/276524/

It thought the strip would be funnier if it gave an example of the web sites the boss visits. The revised version pushes the joke over that line from being normal office conversation to slightly over the top. I also moved the exposition about working in IT to earlier in the strip, so it doesn't have be part of the punchline.

Both strips are about the pot calling the kettle black. The funny part needs to be (IMHO) finding out just how black the pot is.

You know fuzzy, this would be a great idea for a comic competition.

I think it's been done. I'd like to think of it as more as an ongoing thing in our quest for "teh funny."
