A lot of your jokes are just complete rip offs of actual strips and your art leaves somethign to be desired.

do you mean the TWO of the them that i gave credit to explosm for?? [rolls eyes]

If the joke had already been done, why do it again (even if it was only twice)? Instead of re-doing the comics, maybe you should have just linked to explosm?

You're off to a decent start, but I think you should find new material instead of using old jokes that everyone's already heard.

Ahh no, well yes you took those too, crediting them doesn't make it ok:/
But I was talking about the "You look bold/sketchy" comics which are the exact same joke as the one you credit tot hem with differant descriptors.

Pretty sure I've seen the grass/emo thing too.

that's the thing, almost all the people who knew of my site are all my friends from school and stuff, who a lot of don't read C&H, so that's why i did old jokes and saying i didn't come up with them, just with some of my own spin.

i totally understand though thanks, i've been trying to be as original as possible. just hard when there are so many webcomics out there, is there anything still perfectly "original"?

OOOHHH I get it now, because no one would ever know about it it's ok. Gotcha chief.

Even if they don't read C&H, you should still link to the website instead of re-doing the joke. I really don't see the point in re-doing someone else's joke to introduce it to new people when you could just link to it, or post the original comic, instead.

Also, there's no such thing as "originality", but that's a whole other issue for another time. Just don't use overused lines, like the whole emo-grass bit. I've heard that one so many times. Your Pac-Man comic is a good example of where you should be headed.

It looks like you're drawing a tumorous growth just above the legs and under the shirt each time. :wail:
