I am writing this in the hopes of attracting nerds to my comics. My comics are written in the form of a librarian who needs to get in touch with his patrons.
I'll admit, they're not hilarious. But I'm hoping to get a positive comment or two.
What works for me (and I'm NOT one of the funniest people on earth) is using real life situations -- you know, "write what you know" -- and/or a lot of sarcasm, cynicism, and snark.
This is the best so far. Quick and to the point. Might be better if the questioner were an adult -- nobody really expects a child to explain why they like comics.

Would work better if the comic showed this happening, rather than showing people talking about it having happened. Could move the "register a complaint" line to the end.
